[font=바탕]Dear all,[/font]

[font=바탕] [/font]

[font=바탕]Some member mentioned about ScubaPro double tank mount that might be for 72 CF tanks, not 80 CF ones. I am wondering if there is some bracket, harness or mount (whatever you call it) to make SP BC (Knighthawk or Classic plus) to use double tank configuration. Please don[/font]’[font=바탕]t mention about BP/Wing set up instead. That is an alternative choice, not solution in this case.[/font]

[font=바탕]Thanks for your expertise in advance.[/font]

I searched the ScubaPro site using the words "double tank", "tank", and "double" and came up empty handed. Do you already of have one of the BC's you mentioned?
 
Yes, otherwise, I know that it is the easiest way to go with BP/wing or Triple-L Orion.

Actually, I had another BC in mind since you didn't want to go with the BP/W. Unfortunately, I did not see anything that would help. Maybe someone else can help.
 
I do remember that when i had my Scubapro knighthawk it had a tag that basically showed it suitable for single or a small double tank set up. I do not know what extras were needed to dive doubles with it though. Personally i would rather use a BP/wing for any type of doubles diving. :1poke: :D
 
I dive with my SP Classic Sport and doubles all the time. I built the bracket in '89 and I love it.

The plans are here. It's easy and cheap (less than $10) to build. Beats the hell out of $100+ bands.
 
Older doubles bands were made with a curved center section to fit the groove where the tank would rest in a single tank BC or backpack and most manufacturers accomodated this by providing 2 mounting holes in their backpacks.

SP used to provide holes for this purpose. I have not looked at the back of an SP BC in a few years, but the holes should still be there.

A set of older bands should be availabel pretty cheap in most LDS's lunk joxes or on e-bay. The price is normally reasonable as they are not compatible with a technical backplate.

Another option would be a set of travel bands. The Aqua Explorers bands for example come with a removeable adapter to fit a single tank BC hardpack and woul do the job nicely. But the cost is around $120-$130.
