I have nothing but good to say about the Swedish made Agir Brokk wings, either single or dual tank. They maybe a bit hard to come by in the us, well at least Salvo sells them down in FL.

Another fresh pic from one of my favourite sites back here. The holes on the right and the one just next to the staris are usually the ones that are open. It seems that someone has made a bigger one to the left, see the "cubes" pretty thick ice eh. :)

Well well, as an engineer I can't keep my fingers out of this one. ;) I guess Sparky is worrying if his computer tells him the right things. As for starters, water(liquid) don't compress, so the idea of having a container with water and compressing it with air doesn't work. If water would compress, ...

Have a nice one guys, too bad I can't join you and I've got a damn flu as well, so I can't go IceHardcoreTechCaveDiving in the Ojamo mine this saturday. :(
So, I guess I'll just intoxicate myself with the fine products of the finnish distilleries, to kill the flu ofcourse. ;)

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Hi all, I want to thank all of you for your company and some good ol divin' here in the Seattle area. Too bad that I didn't get to meet everybody from this board while being here, but at least the ones I met proved (once again) that scubadivers are really the best of the bunch where ever in the worl...

Well, once you go double you ain't gonna want to go back to single tank diving again. You just buy another set of doubles if you want to do a second dive the same day. :supz:

here is how it would work.

3- install the single tank and First stage Reg.
Then you'll need a Y valve on your single tank, since you'll need both of your 2nd stages.

I noticed you refer to the D.I. R web site a lot just wondering are you a D. I. R. type or do you just like the way they do there gear? I like the Hoghartian/DIR system and the ideology behind it.

My only problem with the tech is that I don't like the fit over my shoulders. Even with it torqued all the way down I feel like I am supporting the weight (on land) with my waste with almost no pressure on my shoulders and it seems to hold the doubles so low that it is hard if even possible to reac...
