Hi Divers, i'm slowly getting my hours up on the O2ptima and hope to get my mixed gas course done later this year.
Have done a few dives with it on the Mikhail Lermontov, New Zealands's best wreck dive (for normal divers) we'll leave the Niagara out of this as it's an expedition dive/s.
One small mod is I now have the lungs held down by just going from the bottom of one, under the waist strap and back to the other. Much better than crotch straps !

Has anyone done anything around the base (to strengthen etc) as I have noticed that mine, the stainless bits are starting to bend, maybe from the boat trips ?
Any other tips out there ?

cheers
Kevin
