Aloha, we have dived triples almost exclusively for over three years now, from oms121s to usd 40's... trying to find the best match.. depending on the depths and cf needed. we also have tried just about every concieveable system to do this. we have found that the best and easiest method is to order the longer bcd straps for the diverite, zeagel and oms bcds. of course use a set of stainless double bands for the foundation set, they all work, and then just strap the third tank on with the bcd straps... we secure all buckles and straps with wire ties for back up, and have never had a problem. it's easy to switch the third tank for different dives. we'll use two 108's or 95's and a single 45 or 40 for the 200fsw range dives, or two 121's or 104's and a 72 or 80 for the deeper ledges. we gave away all our genesis tanks long ago.. can't get enough gas in them. we have also dived quads and even five tanks but it's too hard on the back.. especially during deco :-) you can also use the same bcd and straps to dive a single tank, just wire tie the excess strap down tight.. saves alot of time. one day we'll look back on these dives and think we were nuts... and i can tell ya.. it won't be that far off. sea ya, dp
