redundancy

temple.bar · April 23rd, 2008, 03:04 PM

The redundancy is on the basis of the DIR Siystem:
Bouyancy Compensator+Drysuit
Double tanks with manifold....
backup lights...
backup mask..
etc
....
I wonder why there is non mention to depthmeter/botomtimer redundancy, as recommended by various training agencies

thanks from a

Your buddy has a spare computer (between his ears) and depth guage on his wrist - between yours and his no need for further backup

We also wear a digital stopwatch, backup to BT. Plenty of redundacy in the team.

the only thing you add with an extra BT or depth gauge are questions.
witch one is correct? the one on your left arm or the on on your right arm ?

same with an extra pressure gauge. witch one would be correct? you will never knwo for sure untill it is to late. you are only adding failure points
