Was wondering if anyone knows wether buddy bottles with built in regulators are still available, have looked on the web but can't seem to find anything.

not thinking of Boreham are you ?

Hi Simon,

Do you mean these?

If you're after one some easy sump diving you would be better off buying a pony cylinder setup like this:

I personally wouldn't use the spareair canister even in open water.. Mind you I would drain it dry after two breaths :wink:

Kind Regards

Cheers for the information Pinch, i take it a 'pony cylinder setup' is basically a diving set which includes all the items needed to dive.

Hiya Simon.

Yep that's it.. a pony setup is a small cylinder, usually 3ltr with a valve, 1st stage and regulator, handy for small sumps.. It might just get you to the china shop... but not sure about the return journey :wink: I have a few small cylinders in various sizes from 1ltr upwards..

Hope this helps

Pinch

Simon,

If you are interested in cave diving I strongly recommend that you get in touch with the Northern Section CDG, their contact details are on the CDG website. I promise that they don't bite - well not all of them !

With regard to Boreham, my understanding is that there is no access at the site nor has there been for a number of years. The CDG northern section would be able to fill you in on the details as to why this is the case.

Safe caving.
