One of the first-stages must supply a pressure gauge and provide inflation for a dry suit (where applicable).[*]Backplate System: A rigid and flat platform, of metal construction with minimal padding, held to a diver by one continuous piece of nylon webbing plus crotch strap. This webbing should support five D-rings. The harness below the diver's arms should have small restrictive bands to allow for the placement of reserve light powered by three in-line c-cell batteries (where necessary). The system should retain a minimalist approach with no unnecessary components.[*]Buoyancy Compensation Device: A diver's buoyancy compensation device should be back-mounted and minimalist in nature. It should come free of extraneous strings, tabs, or other material. There should be no restrictive bands or "bungee" of any sort affixed to the buoyancy cell. In addition, diver lift should not exceed 50lbs for a single tank and 80lbs for double tanks. Wing size and shape should be appropriate to the cylinder size(s) employed for training.[*]At least one depth-measuring device[*]At least one timekeeping device[*]Mask and fins: Mask should be low volume; fins should be rigid, non-split[*]At least one cutting device[*]Wet Notes[*]One spool with 100 feet/30 meters of line per diver[*]Exposure suit appropriate for the duration of exposure.

thats me nearly there then! i have dual tanks which are sort of manifolded. and a wing and some other stuff.
