I currently use 6 lbs weight on an AL80 singles DIR rig. Current singles rig is: Halcyon Infinity AL Backplate BCD, it came with a STA and metal camband buckles, Apeks XTX200 on a long hose, bungeed backup second stag, DIN Apeks FSR first stage with a yoke adapter. Wetsuit 3mm. OMS fins. Questions:
1. On a Doubles AL80 setup, will I still need to add weights? Planning to still use the Halcyon Infinity AL Backplate BCD and replace the wing with an Oxycheq doubles wing (40-45 lbs lift). 3mm wetsuit with 1mm hooded vest. I'm estimating that the weight of the manifold and tank bands will offset the need for additional weights.
2. Planning to use my existing Apeks FSR on right post and get an inexpensive Apeks DS4 for the left post. Does this make sense? Am I better off just getting 2 DS4's? Trying to avoid new expenses but willing to do what's best.
3. My existing hose lengths all conform to the standard DIR rig for singles. I plan to use the same hoses for doubles. Do I need to change any of the hose lengths in a doubles configuration? My LPI hose is just the right length for the short BCD hose of the Halcyon Infinity on a singles setup. I'm concerned that the hose may be too short for Doubles since it's going to be coming off the right post.
Thanks for any help.
