deco tans config and halcyon

[declan long]

Hi Everyone

Just some questions for you guys.

one - i have a halcyon evolve wing, i find the inflator in the middle is a pain in the arse, anyone else? what is reason for this? anybody else thinks this wind looks too big and round?

two - do you run your hoses on the outside of the wing or the inside along side the b. plate? why?

three - deco tanks rigging, why have a bit of length of rope before the bottom clip, pros and cons?

four - anything wrong with a piece of rope in tubing a clp and a cam bad at the bottom?

five - do you always ise chest d ring and hip d ring to mount tanks? how do you enter water with tanks?

six - what is a leash and when would you use it.

one - inflator in the middle routes nicely down the left side of the harness under the retainer. Halcyon and other manufacturers make different sizes and shapes of wings to suit different purposes. If you think yours it too big and round I'm guessing you have a 60 lb Evolve... and that is probably not the right choice for a lot of tanks. It's perfect, however, for LP104's.

two - I don't understand this question. If you are using a BP/W by far and away the most common configuration is to tuck the hose under a light cannister or knife (attached the waist belt on the right side), run it across the front of your body, behind your neck, and then into your mouth from the right side.

three - generally you may have more than one bottle clipped off and they wouldn't all fit if all the bolt snaps were clipped directly to the d-ring. Also the "rope" can be cut if needed if something gets caught up.

four - ??

five - a) yes and b)for boat diving, it depends on how many bottles and conditions; for cave diving, i put the bottles on in the water

six - a leash is something you use to rotate bottles to from your chest/hip drings to your hip dring only when using three or more tanks.



I will caveat this statement - if you are not asking these questions in preparation for a class...
If you have have to ask these kinds of basic questions, I really hope you are not doing tech dives with the equipment you are discussing. HOWEVER, since you have asked about missing stops in another thread, I kinda think you ARE diving WELL past your experience and training. You can't get all learned up from books and computers. Diving past training / experience is terminal. Maybe not the first or second time... but it will usually catch up. Ask the father and son who thought they could learn all about cave diving from online except well... you can't - they didn't make it out the water Christmas Day last year.

The thing is, all of the answers to these questions are available online. If you don't understand enough about diving to figure out how to google these kinds of inquires and arrive at answers on your own that you understand in the context of what you'll be doing... your odds are really not very good.

Has a "Spivey-ness" ring to it, does it not?

I mean, I hope he's not in a cave. OW deco diving is at least a bit of a spectrum, whereas hard overheads full of flow and silt are much less forgiving.
