Hi robert,

I knew you west country lot were odd, the rest of us just tried them out in the water. Tash will probably need to wind hers down a bit...

I guess you havent got around to fiddling with weights, when you get back from lanzagrotty, have a hunt around for some lead flashing, you can sandwich it between then CL case and the plate.

Oh and, those horrible legs have a great advantage, they're a great place to slap your suit inflation bottle (if you're on a trimix dil).

>>P.S. We think Natasha might be the only female KISS diver in the UK - if anyone knows different please let us know.<<


There's other female KISS divers around if you look hard enough.

• Replace the stainless hoses on the oxygen side to allow better and more flexible hose routing,
• Fit the Ambient Pressure Gas Connector System to manifold and stage cylinder to allow quick plumbing-in of additional bail-out gas,
• Think about getting a smaller/lighter wing for travelling,
• Look out for the ‘French KISS’.

• Steer clear of the helium until you've got your bouyancy sorted... oh and I know its obvious, but whats in your dil isnt necessarily whats in your loop.
• Dont forget that that swagelock piping is rated to take your tank pressure, so if you want to change it to normal lp hoses, you might want to add an OPV.
• Off-board gas feeds. great idea, but dont forget that its then one big common set of pipes if you feed it into the manifold dil rail.
• Agir-brokk do a #38 wing that fits well and some people have used the dive-rite stuff (all discussed at length on the kiss list). Oxycheq also custom built a wing for rebreathers...
• 'French KISS'???

I mean from the point of view that if you get a leak in any of the pipes, any other gas you plug-in would leak from the same hole.
