I've seen a few sites with DIY's for rigging your own stage bottle. I plan on doing this when I get my 40cf soon. Of all the DIY's I've seen, this one is by far the best one. Here is the link: http://dir-diver.com/en/equipment/stagebottle_rigging.html If you have a better one, lets see it. I'm game. |

Are you going to be droping the bottle at the line? |

No. Absolutely not. I've seen it done by others, some who were carrying two (leaving one at the line), and others who left their only one at the line. I look at it as a safety net. If I need to breath off of this tank, I don't want it 80' away or 40' higher than I am. It is so not an issue slung underneath my arm that its almost like its not there. If someone else want to leave theirs at the line, I'm fine with that, but I want mine with me. A few years back, I also helped out a solo diver on the Stolt, who did leave her bottle by the anchor. She had a real hard time clipping it on her rig for the ride up, and she had a look of panic on her face. I helped her clip it on, and off she went. I've never forgotten that. Whats you take on this? |

Clipping it back on is the reason why I asked. I sometimes leave them behind depending on how well I know the wreck. Pratice before you need it is key. I rig mine alttle different for taking them off and putting them back on easly. |

I had to cut it short, my kids were screaming. I used to rig mine fairly close to the way you are. It was fine and I was able to get it on and off. But if something happens and the anchor line is no longer the plan it could be a problem. |
