Subject: Re: Securing Lift Bag - new question


I have been reading the techdiver discussions for a while now with great
interest, and finally have a question of my own.   I have the DiveRite
Transpac II w/ Rec Wing, with the DiveRite lift bag that attaches in the
rear, below the wing, by two SS clips to two metal D-rings on the harness.
The clips are connected to nylon loops on the lift-bag sleeve, so there are
no metal-to-metal-only connections.  I have used this on wrecks as well as
in thick kelp forests (Southern California) and have seen no problems yet.
Are there any strong  opinions (or safety concerns) out there regarding
this?

The thing I like about the DiveRite bag is it's heavy-duty sleeve and
convenient storage location in back below tank.  It is pretty transparent
throughout the dive, yet always accessible (when I reach for it - right hand
around right side below wing).

A side issue is my carrying a small Halcyon finger-spool on a bolt snap
clipped to front chest D-ring.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Direct examination of psychologically healthy people shows pretty clearly
that they are positively attracted to the mysterious, to the unknown, to the
puzzling and unexplained. This is noteworthy because it contrasts sharply
with the psychologically sick person's tendency to be threatened by the
unfamiliar, the ambiguous , the unknown.
