@divezonescuba Chris you are actually "The guy on Youtube" I have been referencing. First off thank you for your build guide. If it had not been for seeing your video this trip would not have been possible. All the issues you just talked about are exactly the case.

No local dive shop in the middle of no where in Indonesia is going to want to put your doubles together with a manifold and bands. Plus they would have to put three pair together since we are out on the boat all day or rebuild each time it would be insane. I'm grateful they agreed to the Indie's.

I don't want to leave my camera behind and I don't want to watch my gas in heavy current. I want to go on vacation have an amazing time seeing one of the last healthy reef areas in the WORLD!. I don't dive for the fun of diving or the technical piece of it, I dive to see the wonders of the sea.

I have been diving for 40 years I think I am ok taking one reg out of my mouth and putting another one in. If my left ass checky is too floaty I'll just twist a little!
 
Hola~ I am heading to out in a couple weeks. The shop I am using only has 80's but I will burn that in about 30mins. I am an older bigger guy so air consumption is higher. If I can get a 100 or even better a 120 then I am gtg.

Anyway, I would really like to use this shop. I was watching a YouTube video where a tech puts together set of 80's as Independent Doubles on a backplate/wing. So two complete regulator set ups. The local dive shop did insist on a octo on each regulator.

Has anyone ever set something like this up?
well close to that it's call sidemount.
