I saw someone with a set of double OMS LP 45's on a diveboat last year, and
I have to admit I think this could be my ultimate setup for recreational
diving. Mini-doubles, in other words, for air redundancy. 90cf if you
don't over pressurize the tanks at all, and light enough to take on any rec
dive or casual boat dive.
I already dive an H-valve with two regs when I dive single-tank, but this is
just not quite filling my paranoia needs. Yeah, I know my buddy is my
redundant air supply, but sometimes you don't get the ideal buddy.
The problems I saw with the dual 45's set up were bungie-wing (let's not go
there; I'm thinking to use a normal Halcyon wing and plate), and no isolator
on the manifold. The reason there was no isolator was because the bands
held the 45's too close together to fit a standard isolator in between.
So, what if I had a special set of bands made up to hold the tanks far
enough apart that I could fit a standard isolator manifold on there. Is
this just lameness and I should give up the whole idea, or is there nothing
wrong with it? Thanks.
