lesson learned. . .

On my most recent dives I found out it is best to make sure your doubles are at the correct levels as to ensure not hitting your head on the valves everytime you look up . . .

Thanks for reading my post,

Hehehe - at least you're not accusing the valves of hitting YOU in the head, like some seem to want to do

I know it is not all there fault. . .

And no it has nothing to do with my BIG HEAD!!!

 

[almitywife]

yes i agree - you have a big head

i also did this yesterday.... for some reason i put my bcd a bit too low and it was a total pain in the head!

oh, i also learned that when diving with a camera and you change the settings from vid to pics to CHANGE IT BACK because last night i realized i didnt take a single second of the 2 dozen weddy sea dragons i saw!

But wouldn't it be a 'there fault' due to positioning?

If the isolater hits your head all the time you know where it is when you need it.

Unless you knock yourself unconcious with it on entry or something

OH Yeah this is true . . . so it is a feature

You know, I've recently discoverd more about my doubles and one of the first things was adjusting the bands up and down a little to create better balance AND lower them from the area behind my head. Flipside is now I have to ensure I have something weighted near the top of my plate or clipped to a D-ring on my shoulder as these tanks want to have me ride along at a 45° angle vs. nice and horizontal when they are adjusted so my head doesn't thump them.

A flashlight on each side seems to work quite nicely!

You could always strap your 21W HID can light to the top of the plate
