Adding HP Port onto 1st Stage (Cressi XS Setup)

[rhwestfall]

That wye shaped one might go nicely with that small digital console....

I however rout it over my shoulder and it is captured in my chest rings...

Youngsters! Bragging that they can focus their eyeballs on a gauge on their chest. I can't even bend my neck that far, lol!

I have used the OmniSwivel HP Swivel Y-Block for some years . . .

I use this adapter
View attachment 867643
on an 18" HP hose, bolt snapped to a waist D-ring. I add a button gauge for a pony to the top port, and the transmitter to the end port.
Advantages:
- my transmitter never gets grabbed as a handle when diving from a panga and they haul your rig out
- both I and the boat crew can see my tank pressure without my computer being on, if you're "valet diving" and they set up your gear for you, or if my transmitter fails
- biggest advantage is that I no longer get occasional signal drop out from a transmitter that's hidden by my metal tank and first stage behind my head, while my computer is on the opposite side on an extended arm.
Disadvantage:
- extra failure point , mitigated by that tiny HP hole in the first stage, which will keep gas loss to a minimum.

@Endler's , I can't remember where I bought the manifold block...
Trident S137 High pressure splitter

I too use the block that @rsingler discussed above. I however rout it over my shoulder (it up under my armpit) and it is captured in my chest rings. Button gauge is easily there to see either kitting up or if there is an issue when splashed. As a plus, the transmitter is well protected but right there with wrist unit, even with my ape-length arms...

Much appreciated on the info! Sounds like a good route to go with even having the button gauge on there!
