Doubles Setup issues

[stoiclown]

I have currently signed up to take the PADI Tech One, deep diver course. I currently have two Aqua Lung Legend LX Supremes, that I want to use for my doubles set up. My issue is that I can't seem to set up the hoses, the way it shows me in the picture, its referenced as a standard Hogtharian diving kit. If anybody has some experince with this setup & these regs. I would love to hear about it.

Also I have signed up for the Assistant Instructer course, & would be interested to hear what setup other instructers use? Do you still stick with the BP or switch to what the store sells?

Is this the routing you are using? I just set my first set of doubles up, and this is how I ran my hoses, I love how clean it is, but I'm using Apeks though.

Apeks hose routing is good, but SP MK25 isn't bad at all for the hose routing.

Here is another picture...

Ignore the drysuit inflator hose if you are diving wet. If diving cold water then a seperate argon mount should be used.

What seems to be the problem? I use Legends and have no rigging problem with them. Be glad to help - I'll slap some on tonight and send a pic.

Thanks a lot for all your input, now that I see it at a different angle it makes alot more sense. Rick I would love to see a pic.

Just a little correction to the picture in the attached link. The SPG hose needs to go over the wing as in this picture.

just scroll down a ways.

With the DS4 first stage, you may need to tilt the first stage just a bit so you don't pinch the wing. With The 100s, the HP port is angled just a bit and therefore no need to angle the first stage. When I used Apeks DS4s, I had to tilt the first stage about 20-30 degrees or the wing would be pinched and trap gas. The nice thing about SP and Atomic regs or virtually all swivel first stages is this pinching is elimiated.

or the Apeks DST then i'm guessing..

That's why I included "virtually all swivel first stages". Don't want to sound like I'm pushing a particular brand (cough kickback cough)

It doesn't matter. Those two brands are my favorite. Either one is fine.
