Need ideas for attaching bailout bottles

***schford*** · 24th November 2006, 11:44

first time I have really looking at the golem kit- I must say it looks very slick I might have to order a cpl.

How easy is it to clip out the bailout when you are still on board - or do you need to clip them on in the water?

Its easy enough to clip the bottles on out of the water, they tend to hang behind/ beside your legs, it really stretches the bungy. Some one suggested keeping the neck clip on the bottle and clipping it off to a chest D ring whilst out of the water, then releasing it once you are in the water and letting the bottle swing to its correct position. Its probably easier to put them on in the water but that's not particularly practical off the average British dive boat.

Stu I just clip the neck piston clip off somewhere on the harness then pull the bungee over in the water, absoultely tremendous.

Gloem Gear need an award for this next year at DEMA.

Cheers,

Dave.

Check out the article on ArmadillCCR in the latest issue (24) of the Advanced Diver Magazine.

That should answer most of your questions.
Let me know if you have any more.
Also, consider Udercounterlung D-rings:
DeepSeaSupply Under Counterlung D-Ring
They have never dug into my arms. You just need to position them correctly, or grow your delts

You mean like this

I used to use an Armidillo kit on my PRISM and found it perfect for carrying bottles, it is now on my Meg.

Note the above photo is NOT with the Armidilo, but being tank bitch for Steve and Craig

Cheers

You could look at deepseasupply.com
They make D rings that attach to the harness webbing under the counterlung but extend out to the side so you can hang a bottle without fouling the counterlung.

I was also wondering the same thing> a month ago i got my topaz and did the t.d.i. course here in nova scotia.

the stock harness will accomadate 1 al 40 alright but i don't really care for the way it hangs. I was told of another company making retrofit kit called deep sea supply.

interesting replies, Nigel.

The retrofit kit from Tobin at Deep Sea Supply (cool_hardware52 at Rebreather World) consists of a ss adapter that connects his backplates, wings and harnesses to PRISM CCRs, as well as a Y shaped connector for the counterlungs. You can find his post and pics at http://www.rebreatherworld.com/prism...ter-plate.html

The pics are also in the PRISM gallery, page 4 or 5. Another page or two back in the gallery you'll find JDZ's backplate conversion.
