Subject: Dive-Rite Transpak?
From: zimmmt@au*.al*.co* (Mike Zimmerman)

Whilst at the local dive store today, I saw a brochure for a new(?)
Dive-Rite BC called the TransPak (I believe).  Perhaps even more
than the "current" wings that Dive-Rite sells, this puppy looked
very designed for modularity, ie. use this for any kind of diving
you want, whether you require a redundant bladder with 85# of lift
(each), or a smaller bladder with 30# of lift for tropical single-tank
diving.  Anyway, just curious for any info/experience with this
beastie.  I'll be in the market for something along these lines
sometime soon.

One concern I did have (which the brochure did not clear up for me)
was about attaching doubles.  The brochure showed a set of straps for
doubles and I was not clear about whether it would accept doubles
in bands (with bolts and wing-nuts).  It would seem like it would have to
but, like I said the brochure left me with doubts.

Many thanks,
Mike

My opinions, not Alcatel's                    they only function when open.
