Save yourselves, it's too late for me (help needed)

Again, octopus adapters: http://vintagescuba.proboards2.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1150869721
By far the best on the market that I've seen. You may need to join the forum to PM the seller.

Purplehammerhead, send me your address pronto private mail and I will send you one to use. It will be the VDH version. You may also very much like the one that Duckbill recommends, I certainly do. I think that VDH is temporarily closed for a few days due to having two events back to back and all of the travel involved. N

Happy to hear it made it across the big pond in time.

Wow - do you always talk in such a dramatic fashion? lol. Nice gear

OK, so I got sneaky.

Managed to bribe the DM (with multiple beers) into allowing me to do "just one!" dive with the reg and spg. The other dives had to include an octo...so I didn't do them

Anyway, I stripped the wing off the back plate, attached tank and sorted out weighting and controlled bouyancy with my lungs alone. Fantastic it was, too!

Basically the best "free" feeling I've had diving since I started. A real treat! The reg breathed flawlessy to about 100 fsw and was perfectly happy with 3,000 psi. Spent 1hr+ in the water and could have gone on another half hour.

Thanks again for the assistance and advice that made this possible, my only regret was that I forgot to bring my 60's oval mask...
