scuba tank backpack assembly

[caledfwlch]

Have been looked thu the web and I find it impossible to find a backpack assembly that will fit be able to sit 2 tanks. I can only find those assemblies that sit one. would like to pair it up with a horse collar BCD.

with doubles you don't need a backpack at all, just a couple of straps that thread into the bands that hold the doubles together. only the singles had backpacks. don't know where to find such a setup anymore.

Vintage Double Hose has cloth straps, or find a pack and old style bands on e-bay. I did the later for my twin 50's and use with a horsecollar.

Here is a one off plate made by ZKY. If you PM ZKY he might know where to get a doubles backplate.

They do exist. Dacor made at least one type I know of.

If you don't like the look of a backplate and can't find one of the old dual tank backpacks then you could rig up your own straps with no backplate at all like in this picture. Especially with twins it shouldn't pose too many problems.

You can get bands for steel 72's here. I know him and these are nice. The reproduction harness is also available.

A similar harness and bands for double AL 80's is available from Aqua Lung's military and commercial division. An Aqua Lung dealer should be able to order them.
