hi there, have read the gue website and WKRP. still have a few qus , hope the guys out there can guide me. a) do we need a swivel for the 1st stage ? i personally dun think so , but i might be wrong b) is it ok , advisble or a BIG NO to instal swivels to the 2nd stages ? if yes , do we install to both 2nd stages ,( the one to the 2.1m hosae and the one round the neck ) or just to one of them ? c) have this weight problem...i dive wet most of the time. i'm from asia , so even if we do tek dives ( simple ones !! ) , would at most require a semi-dry suit. now i only need 6pounds of lead to sink when diving with al 80s. however if i were to get a ss backplate , the weight itself would be sufficient for me to sink. But this means that i cant dump these in cases of emergency as well. i feel that ss plates are much better for saltwater and harsh environemnt conditions, thus i have this problems on wieghts now . i have calcualted that ,IF INCLUDING A 2POUND KEEL WEIGHT ,as i advance into doubles and side tanks (2) , my percentage of dumpable wwights would increase from about 33% to 58% ,is this ok ? of cos, if i dun put the keel weight , the percentage would increase.. advise please ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
