Guys, the objective of this video is to show you the minimalistic and hydrodynamic Z-system, one piece webbing, the right amount of D-rings and the nicely hidden manifold. (In this case I use a smaller version).
Together with proper training the Z system can be an awesome piece of kit !!
I am a strong believer in standardized training, this is the only SM system that comes with a "manual", by that I don't mean how to set it up, but how to "dive" it.
In this video I am diving a drysuit, carrying 2 AL 80's, UTD wing with manifold, spare mask, wetnotes, spare double enders, cookies, arrows, primary reel, primary light, 2 backup lights, 2 spools , bottomtimer and compas. (Rings a bell ?) I use exactly the same as I do on my doubles, and yes the same thing I use if I dive singles.
In my opinion, nowadays, there is much more than "oldschool doubles", everyone is moving on...even the ones that weren't moving on ;-)
I am very happy to be a part of this new school that finds its roots in traditional DIR.
Now.....whatever you think about this sytem..the VIDEO speaks for itself.
The Z-system looks tidy, hydrodynamic, is scalable, consistent with what I do.
I can dive with what I already know from before, all the muscle memory is still there !!.
I am a DIVER..NOT a "backmount diver"...a "sidemount diver"..a "rebreather diver", Yes...I dive all of these configurations..I am the diver and these are my tools !!
