I only got my twins relatively recently,I got them for the one reason which is primary in my selection of gear..."I got em'cheap".My Heisers I got from one of my Old Man's old diving buddies,all his gear was still in his shed,I got the homemade drysuit,twins,Cyclon reg.etc for £75,The twins still had air in and tested OK.My Sabre set I just landed lucky with,RN (so twinvert set up)surplus, used perhaps once with Sabre DIN valves and full test for £100.
Thats why I've got them.The rec.diving I do(I wish)I could easily do on a single,less weight to cart around(the Heisers are perversely heavy,(ask those who've felt em'ooer),cheaper to fill,cheaper to test etc.The twins do give me more dive time however,but if your Buddies on a single you lug it around for the fun anyway..unless you breathe like a schoolboy watching blue movies.
It used to be the case,once,when "fish prodding" that as you developed your skills you could go from twins to a single!Seems odd now does'nt it?HTH,Hobby.  |
