An evolution in diving style - beyond BP/W, ultralight sidemount rigs

[dsatrick]

I have a weight system designed for the Nomad should be out of production this week I'll post a pic also on LP with a little ajusting you switch the infator with the dump and add a pull dump from over the shoulder then the inflator comes from below and is easy to hook up. down fall you can dump from the inflator just the pull dump over your shoulder.

Weight system? would this be for like integrated weighting for single tank or something?

I've dove a rig that was swapped around like that, I didn't care for it but plenty of people dive it that way, I think Ed out of cave advenures does it that way too.

So, when ya'll travel, does your BC look like this?

3lbs and I could easily make it 2lbs if I needed to, this includes the bag weight.

What do you have in there?

A complete BC setup for diving doubles or a single, add tank(s) regs and fins and your diving. I'm going to redo it and make it about 2lbs total. The way I made this one was starting with card board to create a template, the final from metal left a lot of room for improvement and I can swap certain things like the SS buckle for Derlin etc to shave weight

Stainless Steel backplate, harness and wing.
total weight 14 lbs.
Being able to reduce it to 3lbs--- Priceless..
