I setup my weighting with no bailout. Correctly selecting the right configurations of tanks and gases along with the right regulators, the cylinders should be slightly negative when full and only slightly if at all positive when empty. I often hear of people saying that empty Trimix cylinders...

I have a mate that is an artist with a TIG... Maybe a weekend plan .. I like a mission

I thought you put one condom on, covered it with tiger balm, then apply the second condom.... If the bottom one breaks, you know, if the top one breaks.... she knows!

As much as it pains me to say it.. then Siro's tube frame fits that description

But what about Sanctum.... it showed cave divers and rebreather divers as "extreme" :crash:

easy, you have a set of 3s and a set of 7s. 3s for shallow shore bimbles, with air and o2 7s for boat dives. trimix and o2. no need to purchase any new equipment, change routing or add hoses...

I'd bet my left nut that's much heavier than a set of 7s, not to mention the insane complexity ... Multiple first stages, many more hoses and more chances to just Cock it all up...think you need to drop the notion of crying air on deep dives, other than suit inflate... Keep it simple man... I...

You serious? I heard it just gets better.... Mid life crisis? If you have recently purchased: a) Harley Davidson b) jet ski c) new hair d) foreign mistress ... Then I have bad news for you Mike :p

28 the best is yet to come

You are on an inspo.. With your 7s you also had a giant alloy box... Then u had 6 lb lead to trim it out... Check the bouyancy characteristics of 7s verse 3s... Gas volume alone doesn't dictate bouyancy... On my JJ I have NO LEAD AT ALL... It weights 38kgs ready to dive... I just weighed...

I can fit in any hole I could with 3s. The can is the largest part. Weight oft unit... 38ish kgs... Same weight as a unit with 3L and the necessary lead.... It's not intended to substitute off board bailout, merely complement it... You have the ability to hand off your bottom bailout without...

I've set my jj up in many different configs and tried each for many dives to be sure. Steel 3s, Steel 5s, AL40s, Steel 7s. My current and favourite setup is the steel 7s. Notes.: Al40 are available everywhere I travel. So i just use them when I travel. In a drysuit with minimal undergarment...

The tin is to protect the alloy regardless of whether there's any alloy to steel connections... My JJ has none and still benefited from 2 small anodes... I know that cause they are ready to be replaced.

Well done Dean, It looks good and you'll be able to enjoy the flexibility now... Are you ordering the new APD BMCLs as well? Only thing I can add (from my experience with the JJ can) is making 2 small washers out of Tin and put them between your backplate and can as Sacraficial anodes. As...

Welcome to the team! I look forward to working with you

What he said.. And Travel insurance for dive gear is expensive and often has per item limits.. Like $1k... I added all my dive gear as specified portables to my home contents insurance... Adds $200 ish a year.. But my gears covered anywhere in the world...24/7... It's a bit of a pita to setup...

Well the two cells I purchased 2weeks are over 6 months old.. I opened them left them to wake up for a few days... And calibrated... One won't go above 48mv on cal and the other a healthy 55. On o2 testing, my old cell ( a year old)gets voted out before the other two can catch up to it at...

I've noticed that on my JJ... Just be aware that the backplate has enough "V" in it to allow the lungs to work

I've seen a lot of threads start out on similar topics and end up nasty. No one has stepped out of line and it has been a great thread. It was just a pre-emptive warning to keep things above board. Seeing how the thread has gone it probably wasn't needed, or deterred those that had an axe to...

I negative test every reg on setup. I charge every bailout before the dive, turn them off and monitor all the spgs frequently and crack the valve again if needed to maintain pressure. I've seen plenty of divers go to switch to a cylinder that to their suprise has 100 bar less than they...
