Drysuit

Sat Oct 26, 2013 10:03 pm

With a PRAM this isnt a problem but has any body dived with a single single stage, wing and drysuit? To inflate those two articles a bailout or small slung bottle may be the way to go. I tried an H valve but to get it to work correctly, you compromise the positioning of the DH. Any thoughts?

If I dive both a BC and drysuit I can do the following:

If using a DH with a hookah port, route a LP hose. Use a three way adaptor for more LP hoses.

If using a Mistral, use a pony with a LP hose routed to the DS. Orally inflate the wing/horse collar. Make sure you practice this before jumping into the deep end of the pool.

Route more LP hoses off the pony if you want to power inflate everything. Should not be necessary but may be required on some charters.

If you don't want to use a J valve:
For Long Yokes, I use a banjo adaptor to attach a HP hose.
For short yokes, I use a Dacor tank valve that allows a HP hose to be attached directly to it.

I just posted a discussion about drysuits here if you want to read more about that: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=7266


Here's a pic of me with a slung pony. It doesn't need to be cumbersome:

I've actually come across this photo before when I was searching the forum about pony bottles. This will probably be the best way to go if Im not diving the Phoenix.

Get you a hydroglove dry suit and there is no need for all those extra hoses.
