As per previous posts, after much deliberation I bought a TPII with travel wing, Scubapro MK25 & S600, AIR2 and an air-integrated computer.
My wife "persuaded" me to take the family away for a week in Grenada so I could test out the equipment in waters I knew pretty well - How thoughtful !!
This configuration was absolutely brilliant for what I use it for - warm water recreational diving. Light, huge amount of freedom, nothing dangling on the coral.
Only one problem my 1st stage prevented me from looking forward ! I cured this to a large extent by moving the tank as far back as it would go in the cambands and loosening my shoulder straps as far as they would go. On dry land this was perfect crutch, waist and shoulder straps nice and snug unable to bang my head no matter what I did.
But as soon as I got into the water the shoulder straps seems to have about an 1 of play in them. If I tightened the straps my head touched my 1st stage when I looked forward.
Any (sensible) suggestions ?
Also Leadwieght after trying to use a weight belt I decided to buy some pockets. Luckily the London Dive Show was on this week end so I was able to look at most if not all of the types available. Like you I chose the Halcyon ACB 20 (wasnt so lucky as you on price £110 $170 !!). How have you attached them taking into account the metal bracket which joins the shoulder straps to the waist band ?
Thank you
Ian
