Subject: Re: DIR Rigging questions
I attach my lift bag to my front d ring with a section of bungee and
shove it back betwen my tanks and my back. For wreck diving penetration
I use a smaller argon bottle which slides over the belt on the left side
and hold it back against the backplate with a small bungee loop over the
butt of the tank. This is done with a large belt loop that allows the
tank to slide over the knife and the left d ring and therfor can be
removed like the light if I get keyed or stuck.

For cave, the tank mount with velcro breakaway is prefered. The Halcyon
straps are made that way.

You must be looking at a cave diving rig . I describe all of this kind
of thing in the "Doing It Right" tapes.
