what the second head doesn't give it away? what do you do? have a twin loop or just plug up the holes so the gas doesn't leak out?

Welcome to the board Steve and Emma! And nice to see a Tasmanian contingent here....

Like you I'm weighing up the savings of doubling up my tanks vs the advantages of going closed circuit. The deep sponge gardens of Tassie are my favourite dives, and I can't wait to get back down there and dive them properly...

So anyone know where can I get a loop with two mouthpieces?

Cheers,
Rohan.

Welcome to RW the next big jump is what unit to buy and where to get your training. lots of luck there ( to many good instructor's around). The optima is a good choice but may be hard to get there (down under). Good luck and have fun learning.
