First dive in doubles was at dive 19, according to my dive log (at that time pretty accurate). I was about 13 and my pops (instuctor who certified me) strapped doubled up something smaller than 80's, that felt like they outweighed me. After spending about ten minutes in the "armadillo" position I swore them off for about 10 years. I dive doubles almost exclusively know. Turns out you can stay down longer with them!
 
The biggest difference for me was (once I got them setup right), that I couldn´t control bouyancy with the air in my lungs anymore...my steel doubles just don´t care whether I breathe in or out...
 
Guys - talking in Tagalog in the PPD forum is one thing - out here I don't think it's very appropriate.
