zeagle brigade...quick question

[irukandji]

Hi,
I´m very intersted in getting the zeagle brigade some time this month. So far everything I´ve read puts the this bc probably with the top 10. Anyway, my quiestion is:
does the brigade have the capacity to hold twin cylinders?

thanks,

Iruk.

Yes, but you will have to add a backplate and a larger lift bladder.

You dont actually have to add a backplate to dive doubles, but you will need a bigger bladder.

Here is a page that shows you how you can dive the BC with double tanks:

Correction, you will need 2 mounting plates.

thanks to all for the quick response. one mre question...but if I have to add bigger bladder in order to dive with twin tanks then it wouldn´t be a brigade any more it would have to be a ranger...right?

thanks...

A Brigade is a Ranger with an Escape bladder.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

thanks.

That all depends on if you are diving warm water or cold, wetsuit or not, etc. I know people who dive with a 35 pound wing with double aluminum 80's but only dive in warm water with minimum skin protection.

thanks for the reply, I´ve decided to go for the Zeagle Brigade. I think its the right one for what my diving intensions are, which are basically travelling, deep and wreck diving.
thanks a lot!
