BP/W Newb needs advice

[bluebubble1995]

I got my new 17# with stainless BP rigged out. I ran the inflator hose through the inner tube by the left D-ring. I attached my octo skum ball clip to the inner tube on the right below the D-ring. What is the best way to attach my gauges? I'm used to stuffing them in the BC pocket. I can't wait to get wet!

Just to be clear, the LP hose, not the corrugated hose, should be run under the inner tube.

Gauges? The SPG, on a 24" HP hose is clipped to the left hip dring. You need tie a bolt snap on to the SPG.

Depth gauge / Bottom timer, on your right wrist

Compass on your left wrist.

"Gauges?" Yes, the pressure gauge/compass and depth gauge console. I can't put one on my left and one on my right. I'll just buy a clip and tie it to the console hose and clip to the lower D-ring. Your instructions were lacking but the dir-diver site had great enlargeable pics. Thanks for your help.

Use the ScubaPro FS-1, it's very low profile.

No, gotta keep that left arm free. The holes can get kinda small. Not to mention you gotta get that hand out quick so the crusher claw doesnt get ya. Ouch!!

I imagine you can find another place to stuff your gauges.

I finally got to dive my new wing last night and it was absolutely perfect. I used zero lead in fresh water while wearing a 3 mil shorty and boots. With a full tank and deflated I hovered about a foot below the surface. I suspect 6 lbs will be plenty in salt. THANKS DSS!!
