Hi,
I'm considering making my entry into technical diving by purchasing a set of doubles and BP/W. I've spoken to an IANTD instructor about taking the Advanced Recreational Trimix course, and we both agree it's within my abilities but it would be a good idea to have my own set of doubles and a few dives on them before taking the course. I agree with this, as it's new equipment to get familiar with; I do not want to be wasting time fussing over equipment when I'm paying a lot of money for the instructors time.
One of the requirements of the IANTD A.R.T course is carrying a stage/deco cylinder. I am considering which BP/W I should purchase, and the Halcyon Evolve looks very good. Although it's probably one of the more expensive brands, I might be able to get a good deal...
Anyway, to the question that I forgot to ask my IANTD instructor: how is the stage/deco cylinder rigged to the BP? It looks like it's possible from this photo on Halcyon's site:
However it doesn't show exactly how it's rigged/attached. Even the GUE Equipment Configuration page is vague on the subject; either it's something so obvious that I'm missing it, or a way to sell books.
If someone has a setup like this and could post some close-up photos, it would be much appreciated.
