Hey halcyon,
I bought your eclipse 30 a few months and have only been able to dive it now properly.
I am using a single 12L steel 232 bar cylinder and I think that the straps are way too big or else I’m routing them wrong.
This is the problem:
I set up my gear, I tighten the cam straps as much as possible, I lift up my rig and rock it. It’s quite stable. Good.
Next, I hop in water, it feels fine.
After 2/3 of the dive (40 minutes), I feel the tank start to slip and it’s still being held in place but very very loose and I have to hold the tank with my right hand as I finish the dive. It is uncomfortable and unsafe.
To put a temporary bandaid on this problem, I tied rope around the valve and through the top carrying strap on the eclipse. This feels better but is still not a solution.
At the moment Halcyon, I am quite displeased with this product (cam bands) for how much I spent on it and it is ruining my diving to be honest. I thought Halcyon had really really good gear. I don’t know if it’s the wrong size tank, cam bands are weird or I’m just a fool in routing them. Also when I do route the cam bands, the strap is so long on the other side, I can’t velcro intoplace to stop it from coming undone.
Please help me with this Halcyon or anybody who has experienced this or knows what I’m stuttering on about.
Thanks.
