Well, just spent the weekend setting up my new twinset and then testing it for the first time at Stoney Cove yesterday. I thought it'd be like being a newbie again and would take quite a few dives to master it but NO! First dive, immediately realised I'd strapped the cylinders on too high as I spent most of the dive face downwards, banging the back of my head on the pillars everytime I looked up. No problem! Two minutes in the carpark - unfastened the Scubapro tank cam bands I have chosen, readjusted the height of the tanks, retighten and voila! Second dive was easily the best dive I have EVER had as far as equipment and technique was concerned. With the harness well fitted and adjusted, the twin 12s are surprisingly easy to walk with on the surface, but underwater, the whole system just vanishes! Can't fault it. Haven't yet mastered the whole isolator bit - I know I'll be tinkering with this system for many months to come - but first impressions are very positive!
Thanks to all who contributed ideas and comments over the past few months.
Regards
