Double Tank Rings

[Compressor]

Greeting you masters of diving:

The knowledge base on the discussion board is phenomenal.

Anyone can lead me to where I can purchase double tank rings for my Scubapro BC so I can dive double tanks?

Thank you.

Welcome to the board, Gorji.

You'll probably get a number of replies, but I'll give you the reader's digest version:

Put your BC on eBay and buy a backplate (they're tons of backplate notes on this board, spend some time reading the existing ones first).

Only a backplate will give you the stability required to wear doubles. Though their may be kits to adapt doubles to a BC, they don't work very well and you'll end up going to a backplate sooner or later.

The only variable is how much good money you're going to throw after bad trying to make a BC "work" with doubles.

Trust me, your BC will end up on eBay sooner or later. Don't spend more money on it before selling it; sell it now, buy a backplate.

Thankyou for your reply. I agree with what you have said.
However I wanted to do this not on a regular basis but only once in a while like when I am in Bonaire and haveunlimited shorediving.

Hi Gorji,
I beleive there is only two ways to go diverite transpac or backplate! Having both i beleive the backplate is the ultimate way to go most will agree!!

I'm not sure you would want to go beach diving with a heavy set of doubles but that's up to you. I'm assuming you've already checked out your destination and will find deep water in close. I've heard the pier diving should be good for photography.

I like the simplicity of the backplate so much for my doubles that I'm now conspiring to get a smaller wing for diving my single tanks... the BC has got to go!
