Well yesterday Eric (ZKY) and I made a couple of dives at Gerstle Cove, Salt Point Park. The sea conditions were smooth but the vis really sucked- 3 feet! Eric was using his Freedom plate with his custom harness, no BC, J valve w/ rod, and breathing on his DA. During the first dive his DA was free flowing. So between dives Eric opened up the DA cans, adjusted the valve and seemed to have no further problems w/ it.
I was using my RAM & Zeagle Express Tech BC, The RAM had a 3 way splitter so I could use an inflate hose for my ET. I also had a banjo fitting so I could use my old stainless braided hose Healthways spg. My Aqua Flite custom smooth skin suit kept me toasty in the 50 deg water. The only problem I had was that the ET kept riding up causing the RAM to position off my shoulder blades causing harder breathing. I need to modify the ET & add a crotch strap to keep it from moving up. Except for the bad vis, fun was had by all. We even did a double hose buddy breathing drill during one dive (good practice).
I will try to post a few photos later
