Redundant bladders are unnecessary and can cause problems. Why would you want them? Even if you don't connect it, you now have another inflator, and another hose, which could fail etc. >what is the issue for wetnotes against dive slate against the Dive >Rite wrist slate ? was thinkning that its a good idea to have just 1 >wrist slate which we write all the necessary details. >dive slate wise, isnt it similar to the wetnotes ? Wetnotes have more room to write stuff, and are out of the way. >how about having an extremely short hose length for SPG and bundling >it together with the inflator hose ? does this provide a more clean >cut config and also does not get in the way of any stages that are >carried. Sounds like you are trying to reinvent the wheel. I could see this getting in the way of the inflator and causing problems when you try to vent. Also, you need to be able to show it to your buddy. >also what is the community standing of Dive Rite spools and reels >agasint halcyon ? i understand that Dive Rite has came up with an >Exploree Reel (to that of Halcyon Pathfinder) and the Dive Rite >spool ( to that of halcyon spool) ? Use whatever you want. The Halcyon reels are very nice. Are you trying to save a couple of bucks? I suggest another sport then. I haven't seen the new Dive Rite reels, but the old ones have a metal to metal connection and are much less nice than the Halcyon reels, more likely to tangle, to fall apart, to ratsnest etc. >not looking for any flaming or "super-hero" attitude , these qus >just poped into my head , so i'm asking now. I suspect you will get flamed, since that's the nature of "techdiver". However, keep in mind that just because you get flamed doesn't mean the flamers are wrong. You might also consider that technical diving is a dangerous activity. Trying to "reinvent the wheel" can get you killed quite easily. Don't believe me? Look up: Tony Maffatone Frog rebreather in Sand Diego just off the top of my head. I would suggest using a tried and true system, such as DIR, and asking a lot of questions if you need to, even if you get flamed (you seem to be doing that, which is good). I would also suggest subscribing to the quest list, and taking a GUE class. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
