Twin 14's !?!?!?!?!?

[Thunder Bay Minnow]

I recently purchased the unit off of Craigslist. They have a custom web harnes that is integrated in the bands, so it is direct mount non BC or BP wing and the manifold can not isolate the tanks.

Why would someone make a custom set of bands to twin a pair of Alum. 14's??


But they are REAL cute! Currently have them hanging on the wall. Maybe when my daughter gets old enough?!?!? She'll look cute sporting twins!

Pictures would be cool...

Perhaps it's a prototype "Spare Pair"?

What is the spacing between tanks? If it is about 3/4", the manifold is probably made by US Divers in the early 80's for twin AL30 tanks. USD made two manifolds for double 30s, one with the regulator fitting over one of the tanks and the other one with the regulator fitting centered between the tanks. Is it a solid one piece manifold?

Twin 14s are posted in my gallery.

Wish I knew how to link to them.

Just insert them as an IMAGE instead of as a URL...

That looks like 2012psi Luxfer tanks and the manifold is a standard US Divers double manifold. The manifold that they made for 30CF tanks would have spaced the tanks much closer together.

I regularly dive with mutiple small tanks but not that small.:shocked2:

I dive double and triple 40's, double and triple 30's and ocasionally triple or quad 20's. Small multiple tanks feel less bulky than a larger single tank of the same capacity, but it looks like that set was just made for fun, not real diving.
