New dive gear configuration test tomorrow




Heading to Lake Jocassee tomorrow to test some new equipment configuration as follows;


  • Replaced Aeris SPG (with Depth Guage and compass) with Scubapro Guage (no boot) on 32" hose. Have a bolt snap attached to SPG with cave line.

  • Moved Suunto Vyper computer and Suunto SP7 compass to bungee wrist mount (from Deep Sea Supply) with dual bungees on each device. Typically mount the computer on left wrist, and compass on right wrist.

  • Old computer configuration is shown above - with wrist slate and trusty dive watch. (also note Henderson 5mm Instra-Dry gloves - very warm!)
Expect water Temperature in low to mid 50's, so will be interested to see how the wet suit combination performs (see previous post for 61 degree dive). This is not a major gear change, but want to test the configuration to see how things work. Also plan to deploy my reel and run some line for fun. Looking forward to NSS/CDS Cavern Course inFebruary 2007, and trying to get my gear in shape!
Will post an update afterward to let you know how things worked!

Dive Safe!
