The bungee is through the same place that the d ring is , not attached to it. The tie or whipping is hidden inside so you can't see it. I use a weight belt. The canister light is also droppable. -----Original Message----- From: Porter, Greg [mailto:Gregory.Porter@AR*.Bo*.co*] Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2001 11:52 AM To: 'trey@ne*.co*' Cc: techdiver@aquanaut.com Subject: Weighting & Bungee question 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.
