Sweet! I can't wait to check them out.

Did you get two each of the 80's and 100's??

 

[Rainer]

I think that's what the "(2)" means!

 

[1amphibian]

Ah!..missed that somehow, no wonder he said "Ouch" at the end.

 

[Divin'Papaw]

Why two 45 lb. wings?

 

[MSilvia]

Why two 45 lb. wings?

One for him, one for Lisa.

 

[Divin'Papaw]

One for him, one for Lisa.

Gotcha! Didn't realize there was a SO involved. Makes perfect sense now.

I agree .... OUCH!!!

What kind of dives are you planning with the doubles? If it's cave, there's no benefit to getting larger cylinders for the "heavy breather" since you have to do your gas planning based on the smallest cylinders in the team...

Could be going the same route that dynamiteT and I are going. I am looking at the hp119's and she is looking at hp80's. I will gas match when diving with her, but when diving with others, I have the availability to increase the amount of back gas that I am carrying. And as I am starting my cave training before her, I will be diving with others until she is ready.

And it is not that I am a heavy breather. Matter of fact I come up from dives only a couple of hundred PSI below her, it is simply that I am 6'1" and 250 lbs and she is 4'11" and 100 lbs and she just can't carry the larger heavier cylinders.

That's the logic right now behind our planned purchases of doubles for the two of us. May be something similar to the dissimilar cylinder sizes for Mr. Duncan..
