40's float butt up - clip the nose to your hip ring - they will behave perfectly. The 80 is in the normal position. What I do is use the 80 stage for the first dive leaving full doubles for the second dive, and use the 40's for both dives to deco, or if the second dive is shallow I use a different 80 as a stage for that dive, totally preserving the back gas. 2 Al 80's at 3500 hold 192 cu feet of ( air ) and a proportionate amount of 50% gas. Three 80's hold the same gas as double lp 121's at the same pressure. If the hooves in New England need 121's to dive , then what do they do for the second dive, get a hooka and do surface supplied? What all of these guys need is a math lesson, and some mouth tape. The mouth tape might cut down on the ridiculous fat slobbery and perform the dual duty of preventing them from saying anything stupid. Tom Mouth's slobbering goobery about steel tanks is just one more of his effrorts to do anything and everything other than what makes sense. Using those brick heavy faber 45's for deco gas is as dumb as it gets - you can't do anything with them other than stage a Charlie Foxtrot like what we just saw on the Seeker. But guess what? Al 80's cost $96 each. Faber 121's are in the three hundreds each, and the bricks are extremely expensive as well. Put that together with huge money bondage wings, useless deco computers for big bucks, and the rest of the useless crap and you will see that not only is the dive money spent on shit, these strokes tend not to have any real gear, like a scooter , a decent light, or anything else, but the dive shop and selling instrucotrs are making out quite well between this rip off and the mutitude of overlapping course designed to legaly confiscate yor dive money. And they do not userstand why business is bad. Bull shit and deaths - that is why.
