I'll post a picture later as I'm going diving today.

The front hose is my bungeed back up, the rear hose is the primary.

Nice setup except for those ancient second stages, you should donate them to a museum .

Honestly it is a great looking rig. The Agir plate and speed nuts look great as does the Oxycheq Mach V Extreme wing. Surprised you went with a MK-17 over a MK-25.

Thanks Andy. I've not had much luck with piston regs, that combined with our cold and dirty water it made sense to me to go diaphragm. Diaphragm regs are in my comfort zone. I've serviced quite a few of them including MK11 and MK17s and never had a problem.

Why is the transmitter so far away from the actual hose? What do you have in between the transmitter and the hose?

Nothing, it's just on a 4" hose.

Very nice Simon. With the MK-17 (I however flip it, so the diaphragm is facing down), I use a first stage swivel on the "long" hose. I like how it allows a real tucked alignment of the hose.

Thanks Bob. Other than lower profile is there any other reason you flip it? My OCD has a slight problem with flipping it as then the writing would be upside down, I know, I know...
