Shark movie...Red Water...

[Tractor Tom]

...was on a couple times over the weekend, about some guys prospecting for oil in the south, and a large shark that managed to eat a couple of them.

Anyway, about half way through the movie, the girl put on her gear to do some poking around the bottom and "take some samples", it appeared to be a regular open circuit system, but I swear it looked like the tank was held CROSSWAYS at the small of her back. Her regulator hose came up from down low on her back.

Do any of you guys recognise this rig? It was nothing that I have ever seen. The tank was lost in the canvas, but no wing was seen either....

from the description it sounds like a set up that an english company invented (seen them at the shows).

it is the size and physical shape of a rucksack, the bottle is a dumpy 8ltr at sit horizontal in the bottom of the rucksack.

the rucksack also double as the bcd.

it was that good, that the special forces even looked at them but they had some special mods done to them.

some schools use them for training and a lot of schools use them for the try dives.

...of what I was seeing. Looked like she had on a black backpack with a regulator hose coming out of the bottom left corner. I had never seen such a thing before and was wondering of the size bottle that would fit in such a rig. Thanks!
