"The idea of requiring every new diver to carry a totally redundant gas source because they can't be trusted to monitor their primary gas source is preposterous. The logic is flawed."
I don't understand your logic, Kendall. New divers have zero experience with air consumption at different depths and different workloads. They can be taken by surprise then panic sets in. I don't care if is improper DIR etiquette, this diver is now dead and a bailout system may have saved him!
