Some Thoughts on Independent Doubles

[rx7diver]

HDG LP50s don’t exist. Only the dark grey painted ones. Someone I know asked DGX about them. They’ve tried to get Faber to make HDG ones and Faber is NOT interested.

Thanks, @Marie13 , but I am in no hurry.

@Raphus ,

I don't understand. I drysuit dove manifolded HP 100's using a Hogarthian configuaration before I replaced the HP 100's with HP 120's (same hogarthian configuration). Doffing and donning either set in water--without assistance--was/is straightforward (for me).

Are double 12 liter cylinders different enough to cause problems doing this?

I am not sure how different they are.
But the thight webbings makes it different for me to put it on.

Main problem is the bladdern. To sustain positive bouyancy they have to be inflated. And they restrict the arm movement a lot while putting the gear on.

When on land i need to deflate the bladdern fully to be able to get out/in comfortable.

These double web bands DTA are the way to go if you can find a used set like I did. One size fits all. I use my old steel 50s, 72s and 96s with those bands. Just bolt'em on the BP and go. Just the thing for ID configuration and tanks can swapped and changed "on the fly". One minute you have doubles the next you have singles that can be carried one in each hand.
Those are my 72 IDs.
