What is your recommendation on the most optimal attachment configuration for Faber steel cylinders? They behave worse in this regard.

Shooting an SMB.

I see 2 questions implicitly weaved into this discussion: 1) What is the consequence of calling something "technical"? An acknowledgement of significantly increased risk? A requirement to obtain training X? If calling something does not have any concrete consequences, it's not very meaningful...

This is great. Thanks, Fritz!!

Thanks.

Ha! In that case, I must tread carefully. Thanks. What did you end up doing with yours, assuming you've faced a similar predicament before?

Just a regular Duracell battery, but I took a long break from diving, it's been pickling there for 9 long months, weeping electrolyte tears in solitude. The leak was minimal, though, walls of the compartment slightly wet in the front, although I would expect some electrolyte gas condensation...

Does baking soda to neutralize electrolyte spill seem like a good idea? The compartment looks sealed, but what do I know.

Thanks!! I guess I will have to experiment with both and see what feels more comfortable. I am 6 feet tall and my Worthington HP100s are pretty heavy at any pressure, but I guess that may change with the Faber HP100s, I am just about to find out... I did notice slightly uncomfortable changes in...

Question: why is it better to have tanks more towards the front, with valves in the armpits (as opposed to further back like I have them right now), does that have something to do with the tanks being closer to center of gravity and staying better in trim as the gas is drained and they become...

Thanks, I will take a look and see if it can be moved. Sadly, this rig doesn't seem to be designed with much adjustability in mind :( Yup, the choker issue was thick gloves. I guess it's possible to work with a smaller boltsnap, just a little frustrating. I guess I could also try to use...

Contour comes with a pair of loop bungees that are very strong (densely packed rubber inside), they have about 80% maximum stretch, and at least visually appear to be the same 5/16 inch (8mm) bungee that Edd is selling on the Cave Adventurers website. I'm not sure who manufactues it, we seem to...

From what I hear, all scuba valves are considered fast-opening. Some manufacturers choose to CYA and declare their valves as good up to 40% premixed O2 only, even though they are O2 cleaned from the factory. I just had that conversation this week with a shop where I bought some new tanks, and...

To be honest, the added clutter does bother me a little, but I can live with it, and without the second bungee, the deco bottles do not stay as snug against my chest as I would like. Below is how my bottles are rigged, and how they hang when taken off the second bungee. Making top attachment...
