Mario

I have tried  them on the weekend on a shallow dive (30m) and did not =
notice any stability problems compared with my old Seaquest BC at this =
depth.

I use double high pressure 70' steel tanks which are quite heavy and on =
shallow dives the tanks tend to roll a bit unless the harness is secure. =
On deeper dives the extra air in the BC tends to support the tanks and =
the whole setup is close to neutral.=20

The ends of the shockcords are attached by some sort of trick clip thing =
which looks as if it has some sort of higher purpose which I don't =
understand. As standard they are set as loose as possible but the BC =
can't inflate fully as decribed earlier. I will try a longer piece of =
thinner shock cord and see if this allows easier expansion.=20

Thanks for your comments. I'll let you know how they go on a deep dive =
in a couple of weeks.

Guy
