| Side mounted tanks on Dolphin Hi Guys
I bought a Drager Dolphin back in February, didn't fancy the extra weight of twins to get the extended bottom time at the depths I envisaged (40M max). Took a while to get confident with the breather but naturally, having become accustomed to it I needed to mod it up a bit.
First step has been to side mount the nitrox bottle and a 5L bailout that also serves for suit and wing inflation. The clamps were on offer at Stoney, currently £35 each. Initially I've secured them to the box with cable ties but in due course I will construct some metal brackets. The new config is obviously a little wider but it feels balanced and right.
The next step will be to put a sensor in the loop and organise some form of display so I know what my O2 levels are.
