stage bottle

One of my cave dive buddies is having some trouble getting his stage to sit correctly into his sidemount setup. He's tried moving around the lower clamp but without success. The tank just always seems to kick out to some degree. See photo. Ive also made suggestions to adjust the length of...

I almost exclusively dive back mounted doubles here in Norway, and when I went to Dahab last year I was able to rent doubles, but many places in the world that's going to be tricky. I would prefer having redundant gas and regs in the 60-100ft range, especially when diving with random buddies and...

Since stage tanks are usually (always?) aluminum tanks, they will be positive when empty. This affects the balanced weighting of the entire rig. I have heard that stage tanks are not calculated as part of your weighting, since you need to be balanced in the event that you drop/stage/leave tanks...

Searched a bit but couldn't find the exact answer in the existing topics, so here comes my question: I have four 12 liter 232 bar steel tanks for my SM and Twinset dives, which I normally do in cold waters of Stockholm, Sweden. Now I'm looking to buy 1 or 2 aluminum tanks to use as stage /...

Hello! Here is a deco bottle strap kit I removed from a pony bottle. I guess I'm old school: I prefer rope and fuel line... It comes with the host retainer and worm-gear bottle clamp. If you would prefer, I have a clamp that would work for an AL80. I think the host retainer would stretch...

Hi all, I'm currently diving backmount with doubles. I got cave certified this year and I want to get sidemount certified so that I can dive the caves that require it. My idea is to only dive sidemount when it's needed or to train. This would mean that I have these two tanks that I could...

Hello Ladies and Gents, Here is the question. Where do you guys and gals carry a stage when you also have 2 deco bottles. I generally don't carry bottles on the right side due to my canister light which comes with me on almost all dives unless absolutely no light would be required (40 ft...

How to make a typical lake dive more awesome: Take all the toys underwater.

Southern MD. The tank hydro is good to Aug 2020. The regs are a DC1/212 with braided hose long enough to go behind the neck and a 90 deg swivel. I also use an on off switch for staging the bottle (somewhat controversial but can be removed easily). I have a bungie on the neck and the clamp, side...

I am a rec diver here in Hawaii and want more air on my dives. (My air usage is pretty good already) My goal is to moderately longer dives in shallow shore diving spots. Currently I do about 1 to 1:20 hr dives for shore diving around 30 to 40 feet. I want to add another bottle to this and do...
