I am thinking about putting together a set of triple Genesis 120's. I am going to use the Dive Rite MVS manifold. I am going to two sets of bands together so it makes a nice neat three holer. To carry it I am thinking about using the Dive Rite single tank mount on the center cylinder. Using this I can attach my backplate and wings as usual. I have not decided which side to put the isolator valve on. Has anyone put together a triple set like this? Surely the WKPP boys have. I am going to try to make it all the way to Pothole this time. (JOKE) Actually, here's the deal: Last year when I went to Hatteras to meet Rod Farb and do a week of diving on the Monitor, getting air was sometimes a problem and GAS was nonexistent. The diveshop would either be closed, or we would be getting in too late, or leaving too early, or SOMETHING. I had to bring a big O2 and helium in my truck all the way from Knoxville. What a pain in the ass. I had two sets of doubles PUMPED with a super rich He mix. This way I could use them for two dives each. An air topoff from 1500psi would give me an ideal bottom mix for the second dive. That took care of 4 dives but still having to carry K bottles and field mix. I was thinking that if I had a set of triples, I could leave the K bottles home this year. (I have enough tanks to take care of the deco for 6 240' dives) Any input on tank assembling? By the way, if you've not dived the Monitor, get in touch with Rod. He's a cool guy and it's a fun trip. Mike
