    Argon Bottle Rigging

    Thanks for the quick replies!!! I wanted to get a few days diving off one bottle so I opted for tank band on my doubles with a pin release for easy removal for fills and storage. I bought a used 20cft tank (after vised) from my LDC. With this setup we figured that yes it would be more...

    Does anyone have pics of the way you have your Argon bottle attached to you? Is it attached to your doubles or single bottle, your backplate, rightside up or rigged valve upside down when in use?

    USS Kittiwake-Grand Cayman

    Dove the Kittiwake 10 days after her sinking with Divetech and had a great time with good people up and under the water. I took two friends with me and took many pics. The ship was to be sunk in 65' of water but landed in 55', which put her 3' from the surface. Water clearity was great! I...

    Whats the dumbest thing you've done?

    I was on my first Night dive and the instructor told me to lead the class out 15 kicks on a compass heading and just as I started another uncontrollable diver kicked my mask off.
