interesting insight.... would the trim matter if i was i steel tanks vs ali tanks? the butt of a steel tank vs the butt of the ali tanks... as they are inverted in tdi ccr mod1 class... facing up... would that add weight to the upper part of the body? i was hoping if it did... that would...

when i took the class i "rented" the inhouse equipment it had aluminum tanks. by the flat bottom. Round bottom tanks steel. I dont really know why mine was fitted with alum tanks. but, i assume it has something to do with diving in my country is 99% salt water diving. in fact.... thinking...

so the back plate matters. I was using my halcyon stainless plate. which sits low on my back to give me a good trim on doubles. i use 2 lbs of tail weight diving doubles in 3mm wetsuit. so let me get it right... carbon plates. in 3mm wetsuit. will make me more or less be in the ball park. but...

just read the write up.. interesting... he had the tank valves up. and the use of the standard Halcyon 40 wing. although his problem which he heads down.. can be fixed with heavy fins and and tail weights

umm.... im still in TDI CCR Mod1. before id wana go on in the ccr direction.. the trim really bothers me... id end up kneeling on the bottom without 3 lbs of lead in my left and right shoulder. I understand most are already further in my training... im still in the 1 3L Dil and 1 3L O2, valve...

a lighter plate.. and moving some of the weights to the upper part of the body... overall same overall weight

scubagaskets any good? i mean will it be of comparable quality?

sent sent you a dm

1.) Carbon helps? ok was thinking of titanium or aluminum 2.) yes.. just above the D rings. strapped weights there. t pieces are above collar bone. or top of should er so wont bother. 3.) I went light fins since my hip and legs were singing.... if i let go... id end up standing up 4.) yes...

yes even with 50m dives on OC... i realize... if there's a wing failure i dont really have a redundancy inflation, well.. i do an smb and a lift bag.

I have a techdiver friend who's ahead of me and yes we seem to have the same weight balance... he has 3 lbs on each shoulder strap using light fins and wetsuit... but perfect with dry suit on.... and yeah.. been thinking about the drysuit... but just $$$$

Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes there are a few tech divers who dive in drysuits in my areas with just a dryfit shirt underneath. it would work. as Tropical as the PHilippines is. going deeper and doing deco can get cold. Im at the point where i need to move forward. Drysuit and CCRs. Although...

yes went to a lighter fin. Fourth Element Tech fins is light. lighter than OMS Slipstreams does the plate help? i mean it's staying at your back? not back to front bias. but i do have an aluminum i should try that Travel stand... a bit lighter... hmm..

i suspect this could be the reason since valves are heavy are already behind my waist? but can i invert them? using the smaller 3L tanks? they would be on the wrong side

the JJ i was using was using alum 3L tanks. the bailout on my left .

this sounds about right... although im not a tech1 yet....

yes i understand Apeks was bought by Aqua Lung. But yes Aqualung has been bought... so.... in the future we will still have apeks regulators and their parts? i love my xtx200 or xtx50 regulators.

Hi i did my TDI Mod1 JJCCR course about a year ago... what bothered me the most was the trim. I coudnt be trim. i was wearing a 3mm wetsuit. with a lightweight fin (recreational) and it would always attempt to pull me feet down. as in vertical. had to put about 3 lbs of weight on each shoulder...
