Don Janni:Why are you so sure it's fake? If it is, then fine, but if it's not, it's not. Right? Do you know for sure?
Not that I care a whole lot. I was just amazed by the picture and didn't consider it might be fake. I wondered why anyone with need to rig out like that. It's not that big of a stretch from the rigs shown in this link http://www.inspired-training.com/depth_record.htm posted by dannobee. There are divers there with 6 tanks. Do you think those are fake as well?
Look close. See the twin tank bands on the set of doubles closest to him? They've got bolts running to nothing. What's holding the tanks to the fella?
If you look even closer, you'll notice a notable lack of hoses running from the extra tanks. How's he gonna breathe off them with no regulator?
How's he going to control bouyancy with his wing trapped under all that steel?
And when was the last time you saw a diver STAGE doubles?
