DIR SPG/Deco Bottle Question

[Windknot]

Hey all.....

I was just wondering......

When "correctly" DIR configured with Deco Bottle connected to your left side, where does your SPG go?

Is the SPG still accessible when there is a Deco tank hanging on to the same Left waist D-ring?

When you have 2 deco bottles accessing the SPG becomes much more difficult, for me anyway.

That will work of course but DO NOT do it if you also have a regular deco bottle containing a different gas. The chances of a mix up would be sky high in a stress situation (like needing your pony...)

Or you could get a Vytec with air integration, and just use your SPG as a sanity check/backup
(boo, hiss from the gallery!!!)

But the only option (at this point) would be to purchase it Online. I'm afraid my tenuous relationship with my LDS (who advised me that they wouldn't be getting any Vytecs yet for "at least 6 months!!!") would probably go over the deep side......

That and I already have Two Vypers (One bought new from LDS) and a "backup" I wear on my wrist that I bought of eBay for a hundred bucks.

I guess I could sell the new Vyper, console, SPG which I hate, and the compass...but I'd loose my fat behind on them....I suppose I'll use them till one breaks, gets lost or Elvis eats it (see my profile) then I'll make the plunge....
