George, Thanks, your lift bag rigging method sounds like the answer I needed. I never would have come up with that one on my own. As for the argon bottle, I thought you mentioned in a recent post, that when worn on the waist strap it can interfere with the stage(s)? Or did I misunderstand. I have to watch the tape again its been a while. It is all worn out in the part where you show the hose routing :) >From: Katherine Irvine <kirvine@sa*.ne*> >Reply-To: kirvine@sa*.ne* >To: Mark Winters <markwintersny@ho*.co*> >CC: techdiver@aquanaut.com >Subject: Re: DIR Rigging questions >Date: Mon, 12 Jul 1999 10:13:12 -0400 > >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.
