...a twinspiration for the deep long dives?

...Twin loops.

Among others (i.e. from Australia, France), someone here on RBW (not me) already done one. See picture...

Personally, unless going with a Rebreather-80 style accordian CL, you still end up with 1 set of BMCL infront of the wing and 1 set of OTS-CL and 4 T-pieces on your shoulders.

Still a mess...

...There are holes I'd like to get into now that 2 inches would let me through...

Tried turning sideway yet ?

What is the width of your unit? And Height?

Dont know, but its no wider than my shoulders. So if my unit dont fit i dont either

The unit and tins are about bang on with my shoulder width.

P.S who mentioned argon?? the little 1.5ltr ali is full of air. Used argon twice in my OC mix days and could not feel any differnce. So have only used air for suit infaltion ever since.

Nice and still fits in the box. Didn't someone do that with 2 counter lungs? I have seen one like that. Instead of have a inhale and exhale for each loop it just had one cl for each loop. Cylinders are small on that one though. Or at least look small.

Well, I twist a little. All holes ain't square. So, I've fit in holes that were pretty tight. Shoulders fit through, but the profile of my unit wasn't large enough to interfere. And my body squeezes a little better then the 3l bottles.

But, on OC. I used to squeeze in smaller holes. Pull off my tank and shove it through and squeeze myself through behind it.

Don't pull off the Meg. But do the bailouts. So, I want the Meg as streamlined as possible. Makes the Visions small profile appealing to me.

I believe it is a bigger case than the standard APD case.

Eliminate 2 exhalation T-pieces, but still need 2 inhalation T-pieces (i.e. APD). Since ADV is integrated to the T-piece, the loops must be either a) reserved direction, or b) ADV injection point is before scrubber on one and after on the other...

But definitely do-able!

Except everytime you breath out, your body is rotated by the extra lift on one side...

I believe those are 2L tanks instead of the usual 3L tanks.
