I can see you need a bit of work Janos me lad, in the CCR world at least one of the side slung cylinders you will carry will be your "bailout" this is NOT a "stage" bottle (by definition you MAY stage a "stage" bottle, you are a loon if you do this with bailout!) Stages are normally shut off during a dive, your bailout should always be open. If you need any more CCR tips just ask ;-)

Currently I'm just looking for "oxygen" and "diluent" for the two three litres. I assembled it all yesteday (less the manual add valve and the lime) and it holds pos. and neg. ok. But I need to re-rig my harness a bit and sort out a drysuit bottle before I worry about stages etc. Today is going to be a day in the garden in my drysuit with Mrs. Janos and a camera...
