My new Venice shark tooth hunting solo rig..

[bdrannik]

Here's my new rig for strictly solo excursions off the beach.. Bouyancy underwater is perfectly neutral.. Breath at top of lungs - float up, breath at bottom of lungs - go down.. I'll probably add a couple pounds for sitting on the bottom and digging a hole.. The $39 plastic backpack/harness came with a two-piece 2" webbing setup.. I re-rigged it with a single piece of 2" webbing and then doubled up the two plastic buckles from the original harness.. If I tilt my head WAY back I can touch the transmitter, but in everyday use it's not a problem.. Couldn't find a better way to mount it - if I face it down then the SPG hose faces up..

Tank: PST E7-100 HP
Regulator : Atomic T1X DIN with M1 Exhaust T and knob.
(On a 22" Halcyon hose for primary.. Don't tell or I'll never get in Extreme-Exposure store again.. hehe)
SPG: Zeagle Solo SPG (My favorite for instant readability)
Computer: Suunto Vytec w/transmitter (Wrist Mount)
Compass: Suunto SK-7 (Wrist Mount)
Knive/Dinner Stabber: UK Blue Tang Titanium

I'm trying to figure out what they have the two holes for? They don't think people are going to attach a set of bands for doubles onto this thing I hope.. Have you come up with any creative way to attach a wing to this? I wonder if you could just sandwich it between the tank and the plastic?

Now that is what I call minimallistic! I like it. It has everything you need for Venice & nothing that you don't.

What's old is new, eh? I think mine might be buried under a stack of old ties in the garage...

If you think thats minimal, you should see what I was diving on years and years ago.

I've not really explored it. I recieved mine with a steel 72 and set of older Scubapro regs (free). Reefraff, does't this hail back to the Mae West horse collar bc's?

Not that I miss AMF all that much, but my SwimMaster horsecollar was a prized possession.

I have the same backpack, and the holes are for a stainless steel tank band. No, you wouldn't want it for doubles, but I have my old AMF backpack, which uses the stainelss bands, and it's a little more sturdy, but it's the same design, and it holds twin-72's just fine.
