Subject: Weighting & Bungee question
Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2001 08:52:19 -0700
Hi Trey,

I'm setting up my first DIR rig using a single tank (to dubs in a few
months) and have a couple of questions.

First off I notice in the image at
http://www.wkpp.org/images/wakulla042800/Wakulla7_LG_042900.jpg you have
what appears to be a small bungee type cord restraining the inflator hose
that appears to be attached somehow to the left shoulder D-ring.  This looks
like a great idea - just wondering how the bungee is attached to the D-ring
since I can't make it out in the photo and couldn't find mention of it in
the text.

Secondly - how should I carry any extra weight I may need.  Slide weight
pouches onto the waist strap....,  use a seperate weight belt ? For
reference I'm diving dry in fresh water, steel 95, Y-valve w/DS4's, SSBP,
weighted STA, Pioneer wing, long hose.  Don't have a canister light yet.

By the way, after setting the rig up last night and trying it on I wish I'd
done this a long time ago.  Very clean, functional, and comfortable. 

Thanks in advance,
Greg
