Kevin, the wreck diving rig is the size of a set of 80's only lighter. I have three, so one will be normal cave, on will be set for wreck, and the third one will go into the double rb rig for ridiculous cave ( Leon Sinks ). Actually, all I have to do is make up the doubles rigs : 121's for the cave, 40's for the wreck, but the 121's rig is small enough that if I needed to do something ridiculous in wreck, I could and still have the big bailout, although as a regular rig, 80's as the back double bailout would be better. For a double rig, two of these fit where one once did on my standard 121 back set . You should see Carmichael's wreck rig - it is slick beyond belief, and he was diving if off a disco boat with no ladder the other day, if that tells you anything. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Connell" <kevin@co*.ne*> To: "George Irvine" <kirvine@sa*.ne*> Sent: Sunday, January 28, 2001 6:12 PM Subject: Re: Fw: New Halcyon RB- "HALCYON 80" > My wife is going to kill me.
