how to configure 2x 2nd stages? (necklaces?)

[dvas]

hi,
i have connected the left reg to the bungee... what is happening now, that the while the reg is bungeed to my neck and hose that is coming from the right is coming just below my shoulder and it is not confortable and it is hard to move my right hand and also it is conflicting with my second (inflator) on the right....


and not just confused... but rather ;-0

i still have more then a week till next tek dive to sort this mess out...

HEELPPPPP

Lets not kill our tec diver people. The pic submitted is one of the worst tec configurations I have ever seen. This is dangerous and unforgivable!

Solution.

Double tanks with 300bar isolator manifol
dual regulators (best are Apeks ATX50)

Right regulator has the long hose which will go underneath your canister light, around the left side of your neck towards the right and in your mouth. The right regulaor also holds the BC inflator hose.

Left Regulator has the HP hose which is only long enough to clip to your left waist d ring. Left Regulator has the short hose that has the necklace attached and goes around your head. It is important that you can get the reg in your mouth without using your hands.

If you use a dry suit like I do, you have a seperate reg and argon bottle including hose only long enough to go from the tank to the inflator

NO HOSES SHOULD HAVE HOSE GUARDS

Use proper wings and harness systems. Halcyon is the best. If you have Dive Rite, you are actually Dive Wrong. Trans pac is crap and only for wanna be tec divers. See my attached picture for the proper way your doubles should be configured

Those are scubapro regs on those doubles...I thought you said Apeks...

Have you told George or the WKPP? Looks like he needs to reconfigure his rig...

As for the rest of your post...a little diplomacy might make your posts go a little further.

Dive safe,

You better call him quick before he becomes a statistic...he has the HPOD (hose protectors of death)!!

Hello DIR Tec Diver,
May be I missed to write it, but as I said, the picture was a part of the training, and the purpose was to configure the equipment. Believe it or not, not everybody is diving the way you think is the right way (call it DIR or not), and it still can be the correct way for them.
I was asking for a help, not preaching, and if you read my previous emails, I tried to mentioned that manifold is not an option for me.
Anyway, thanks for your inputs, but in this case they were not helpful, like the others that have posted in this thread (and I say thank you top them especially).

Anyway, I hope you will understand, that there are different divers and different equipment, and if may be does not suit your style of diving, it may suit others.

I wish you safe and pleasent dive, and if your journey brings you to this part of the world, I will be glad to show you around .

as a long time diver of independent Doubles I will agree that the picture above is one of the more messy configurations I've ever seen.

the O2 (will assme since it has a USD 02 reg on it, Diveinn?) bottle mounted on the back is a deathtrap if you get hung up in a net (spent a lot of time in the red sea, got into a lot of mono and netting)

I don't have any picts of mine, but I'll try to explain:

Solo: Each reg has Identical reg and SPG config. with the left reg having a inflator whip. Second stage hoses are short, approx 24in, and both have piston snaps atached so that they can be clipped on their respective shoulder's D-rings. I have each SPG clipped off in the same way on a D-ring mounted on each side of my Belt Buckle.

With a Buddy: Rigged exactly as if I was diving manifold.

If you're really keen to dive Indy Doubles, go sidemount! What I eventually did. Soooooo Comfy!

So Willer, are you saying that your standard doubles configuration now is side-mount? I'm curious, because I haven't seen any guys in our region dive that way. I hear there are plenty of cavers that go sidemount, but nobody for just deep and/or wreck diving. Got any pics?

 

[Amphibious]

I might be able to dig some pics up from the Ontario days.

When you've got a long walk/climb to the dive site, sidemount is the only way to go.

I'm selling my TP2 so it's been converted back to normal singles use. It should be noted that the only readon I was diving sidemount was because I couldn't yet afford LP104 and a manifold and rental AL80's are perfect for sidemount.


Now that I have a bright shiny new DiveRite manifold on the way, no more indy's!

And "our region"? are you nuts? HELL NO! I hated Sidemount in a strong current. (+3 knots). I'll stick to manifold for west coast.
