Boubker:  

I dive in very cold Alaskan waters.

The only changes I have made from the DIR cave configuration
described, for example, on the GUE web site, are the following:

-switched to rubber (sherwood) knobs on manifold as they are MUCH
easier to grip with gloves on.
-use larger stainless bolt snaps on stages and other gear (easier with
gloves)
-carry lift bag on rear crotch strap and other ocean safety gear
(flares etc) in drysuit pockets.

I'd also like to get a smaller canister light as my current AUL is
overkill for a lot of open water stuff.  But, until then I still use
the Spectrum 14.  Otherwise, my cold water Alaska rig looks EXACTLY
like what I would use for Ginnie Springs.
