DIR guys can correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard the liftbag should be rolled up with loops of bungee, then clipped to the 'ass-ring', the D-ring on the back of your crotch-strap. I think a problem with storing it in bungees on the backplate is that you can't re-stow it yourself if need be. And yes, I was in a situation where I had to re-stow my liftbag and wasn't able to because I was carrying it using a method that didn't make any sense. Also, don't even consider getting one of those 'Dive-Rite' pouches that store the rolled up lift bag. These are sausage shaped with one end open. This is the way that I used to carry my lift bag, and the way my TDI instructor carried hers. On a training dive at 130 ft on air, she couldn't get her lift bag out of the pouch. Combination of thick gloves and narcosis didn't let her realise that she was trying to remove it out of the closed end. ss On Mon, 10 Jan 2000, pina wrote: > I have two loops of thin bungee cord tied through the bottom holes on my > backplate - probably a practice that should not be done too much but it > works for me in this isolated case -(one loop on each side of the bottom > edge), and I just roll the bag up as small as possible and stick it in > there.
