Xdeep Stealth tec and small person

[marc.collin]

hi

i measure 5'5", i use a xdeep stealth tec and 2 LP85 in sidemount.

i used small d-ring very near of the back (difficult to put my bottle)

some people said me the bottom of my bottle is too low.
Sidemount butt-plate could be a solution

any suggestion of small people who use steal tank with this xdeep

thanks

what do you mean by too low? it is lower than your body when in horizontal trim?

 

[marc.collin]

ya lower then my body in horizontal position.

Have you tried moving the bolt snap?

 

[marc.collin]

tried on the side of the valve, top and under

Can you make the bungee tighter?

sounds like some instruction is needed. It could be many things with how you are configured, before even considering the BC. I would look to how your tanks are rigged first, position of tank bands, position of boltsnap, length of leash on boltsnap. Then, how are you using the bungee on the tank? what bungee method are you using, how tight is it? There are a lot of factors that an instructor could work out with you.

Based on what he said, I think he has tried putting the bolt snap at 9, 12, and 6 already.

I haven't used steel tanks yet, but I thinking general the butt plate is suggested.
