Brownies makes a nice one from ABS, so does Dive Rite. If you want a SS version you can get it from OMS for twice the price as the ABS version. The SS is nice for the added weight. I have converted my normal OW setup to a WKPP style harness and a single tank adaptor with a dual outlet valve. This way I can rig exactly the same with a single or doubles. -Jon -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
