How can I rig 3 tanks, plus my doubles, during a dive?

All of this is covered in a Tech 2 class.. I don't mean to sound offensive, so please don't take it that way, but this is a pretty basic question that should be very easily known by anyone doing the kind of diving that requires doubles and 3 deco bottles. This type of question shouldn't be posed over a scuba forum.

Just my opinion, but I don't like giving out this kind of advise of scuba forums because it seemes to me that if you have to ask this kind of question, then perhaps you shoudn't be diving with 3 deco bottles.

One on the left, one on the right, put the air pony between your doubles.

Oh! Oh! Maybe you can just strap them to your legs, too? Or maybe get a little floating cart to tow them around behind you?

Then where does the jersey up-line go?

Upline goes under your doubles.

That's good

Or maybe you can let the scooter do the job. Why not to mount all thanks to it.

Watch out mounting all the tanks to the scooter. A moving tank might hit your helmet mounted lights causing a momentary blackout while you reach for your buttmounted backup and you then might get your console stuck in the prop. You would then have to call for help using your underwater comm device since you weren't diving with a buddy..

I hope you're getting the picture by now - folks here aren't mean... they're actually concerned for your safety. So the answer "If you have to ask you have no business making the dive" is the correct one.

Don't know, never done it... why would you want to do that? What are doubles? Where are you diving. Why do you need so much air?
