New to Doubles

[jmohns]

I agree Matt, and thanks for being the butt of that bit of humor. ;D
I origanally wanted to double my 130s, for no other reason than I already had them. But after talking to my dive instructor and a few others in my group I decided to look smaller and then grow if desired. I went with the LP 98s due to the fact that if I desired more gas later on, the bands and the manifold were already the right size. I do not want to go to aluminum as I really dislike the boyancy issues with them, I never liked them when I started out. I also like you matt really like diving my 130s, and really didnt want to give that up, IMHO that is the best of all worlds enough air to do deeper work, bit enough neg boyancy to shed some weight off of the belt. I am a little concerned over being too negative at this point, I will need to get the 98s into the pool and see what it does, but I would need the drysuit to make a true account of the boyancy. Looks like I might need to find another lake with no ice on it. The only one I know of is Wazee, and It has ice starting to form on the shores. Looking like spring for this.
