My 1st dive post cert

Very nice video. Has a 70's Cousteau feel about it and you seem quite comfortable on the unit.

If I were to offer some tips:

More lead at the head. I stuck 6 lbs in the pouch and crammed a ankle weight on top of the canister lid. This trimmed me out. Sometimes it just easier to change out fins. With the AP unit I used Jets. With the Meg it was just easier to use Mares Quattro etc. It's always a lot of fun tweaking.

Best,

X

Mr X.,

I lucked out..with the AP Travel frame and a 3mm full wetsuit I only needed one 2lb trim weight. And we stuck that in one of the top trim weight pockets.

Obviously I didnt get enough dives in to really iron out any balancing issues, but for the most part i was very comfortable...im itching to go back ASAP with another CCR diver.

Yeah, I can understand that...one time i took a certified coworker out for some dives at the local mudhole. He commented that Monday how I did a 180 when we dove as far as how i acted.

I like the travel frame. Very small package - who needs those larger shells anyway if you aren't doing any wreck penetration? Keep us posted on your adventures.
