Not to kick a dead dog but,,,,

A chart to give you a idea on depths and tank size,read disclaimers on sac rates!yadi yadi yada!

As said large steel are the only way to go but dont toss the AL 80's yet unless you are drawn to the dark side!Â
A AL 30 or 40 is a good choice as seen for a dive to 120' not for deco ,but just in case !
I shoot video so no sling for me,
Â
Dang I got a dive this A.M. and the temp in West Palm Beach is 62Â deg ! Errrrrrr well I see its 10 in Wisconsin !
Dive safe,
Brad

Weather sounds great. I'm envious. Actually, aluminum 80's are used pretty frequently over on "the dark side". How does "shooting video" not allow you to carry a deco/bailout bottle under your left arm? Is that where you carry your camera?

--- I shoot video so no sling for me, ---

Not sure why you can't use a sling or stage bottle while shooting video?
I've been shooting video for roughly 15 years and gone through many gear configuration changes and never had any real problems. On video dives recently I've carried an Al 80 for 50%, an Al40 for 100% and even another Al80 of travel mix, while dragging around the camera and getting decent video. Just curious.

OOOps,
did not want to start something,
I found that if the pony is slung as in the way it should be IMO I was not as clean as I liked (for me)
IMO just my 3 cents,Â stages hung yes

Rick my video is shot all with a home made pvc pipe case and DV recorder,Total out lay $70.00 my videos that I bring up for divers and non divers like my 2 sons ( yet) priceless

I like to clip my line on my video rig to my scooter ring ,Im sure thats not right but if I need to do something I can drop it and its out of my way and not lost

to each his own as have seen some of (Pro) video diversÂ and they seem to run CCR not for me (IMO) for what its worth and it aint much girls!
Â By the way the A.M. dive was called too cold for the locals! 67deg!!!! oh and some big seas
Dive safe,
BradÂ

Looking forward to seeing you at Christmas Brad. Say Hey to Jon Paul for me. We need to get him those hoses for his Aquamaster. I'm running a little thin these days, otherwise it wouldn't be a concern. Jon Paul seems to be a good guy, we should take care of him. Know what I mean? eh?
