Re: Single tank or Double

Thanks guys for the info. I've been killin fish for a while now and just got into tech diving about six months ago. Just taking it slow with incorporating the two together. I have been working on my gear config. while spearing in
shallow water, I know this kind of thing can't be taken lightly

I've used a jacked up LP single with a 13-19 cft pony filled with air behind me (attached to the LP) on my right and a 30 cft filled with deco mix behind me on my left (second stage bagged and clipped to my left side). That way I have a bail out pony if things go wrong at depth, and I still have my deco mix that I can use once I ascend to a safe depth. Having a pony on each side also helps balance things out. Having everything behind me, keeps my work area clear.
Kite's idea was one that I considered, But I may just put some H valves
on my lp121's and keep the al30 on my left upsidedown. Single 121's have plenty of gas for me. My SAC rate when spearfishing and working my ass off
is average about .6

Hey Dago, I actually had Al out to the Bayronto a few weeks ago and
he brought his old JBL for some reefs we hit on the way back in
I hope you guys had some good dives on the Rottan!

Gee....I thought we invented that when we use to suck air strait from the tank back in the days of the old J valves when your extra 5 min. pull wasn't there when you pulled the wire! Can't remember why we didn't have SPG's. Either weren't readily available or I was too cheap. Then someone invented BC's and you were crazy to dive without them....go figure.
