    Default New gear set up

    Hey guys, can someone recommend a good quality harness, but not too expensive.
    I have just put together my gear set up for the next upcoming dives, I'm planning on doing the Nest and I also need a buddy, anyone up for it?

    Here's a pic of my rig during some test dives in the pool, the harness turned out to be a bit uncomfortable after the first hour

    I'm not diving with you in that rig unless you put an H-valve on it.

    Edit: I really like that valve protector idea

    The kinked hose demand valve is simple, elegant, revolutionary.

    I would go with duct tape...then you can make it tight...it wont move and its replacable...Ill dive with u...are you using 10% air, 30% carbon monoxide and 60% methane?

    If so I think if my chart is correct that will give you 31 hrs at 235ft and a deco of 1 min at 3.5ft. Please paint your tank tho...

    I thought about using duct tape for the harness but I ran out rigging my light for the dive...

    Creo que tener algún tipo de iluminación junto con un equipo GPC y la muñeca también. A pesar de que la 2 ª etapa parece un poco viejo! No se olvide de sus aletas!

    Te deseo lo mejor!

    Dude, I almost understood you...

    Oh WTH? I'll take you to the Nest with me, we can decide on the plan underwater.

    It is good but if you use a bug sprayer tank from Home Depot you don't have to do air fills cause it has an integrated air hand-pump.

    That's an awesome idea. With the dip tube you could put a couple of your favorite beers in there then just lean back to have a drink. Of course more beer means less reserve capacity and shorter dive.
