Nice dive with a friendly blue groper in Sydney, Australia. Water was fairly clear and calm. Diving with my new Phoenix RAM and VDH backplate. Short clip attached (hope it opens OK). Rgds.

Re: Dive with blue groper
What a cute fish! Thanaks for the neat video. Also, your Phoenix system looks very well thought out and ship-shape. May I aske what BC wing you are using and the buoyancy it has? (looks like a traveler size).

Re: Dive with blue groper
Can I share your video on the VDH facebook page?
Doing it right should include some common sense, not just blindly following specs and instructions. .Gary D, AWAP on SB

Re: Dive with blue groper
Bryan, please feel free to use the footage.
Surflung, it's an 18lb zeagle wing from the express tech. I've had many comments on the VDH backplate and that size wing. My only criticism is that the top of the wing is to big and stops me placing the cans lower. That said, I'm very happy with it and its my favorite set up.
Anyone visiting Australia give me a call and I can arrange some good dives from wreck dives to reef.

Re: Dive with blue groper
I use the same Zeagle wing. I just fold the top of the wing a bit a tuck it under the regulator. I am able to raise the plate until the curve section touches the bottom of the can.phsdive wrote:Bryan, please feel free to use the footage.
