Awesome!!!! Thanks James @diversready. I actually asked a similar question for you to do a video on this during your wing vs backplate setup. Awesome. Keep it coming!!!

@petrsedlak4761 4 года назад

Thank you so much for showing people what kind of cutting device a pro diver is using. No 2 feet long super mega rambo knife hanging on each of your legs plus one underwater chainsaw on your chest d-ring. No. One small little ezeecut. Razor sharp. Able to cut almost anything with no effort and safe to use sice there is no blade exposed to diver's clumsy hands. That's it. I love that. You don't need anything else. Ok, my sister is also using small but strong pair of scissors hidden in sheath on her left arm. It is better for cutting fishing lines. Ezeecut is quickly loosing sharpness when used regularly. It is better to keep it sharp for emergency cases.

@Ellipse506 3 года назад

Thank you so very much James! You've been such an influence to my diving and I have just got my Apeks WTX-D30 as well and have set it up similarly to yours as it just makes sense. Heading out to volunteer for coral restoration work next week. Looking forward to diving the new setup. Dived the Mares XR before so BPWs aren't new to me. I had setup my earlier wing style BCD in a similer way to this before in a very makeshift way and have been enjoying the simplicity of your setup. My GoPro is now my 'DashCam' to just catch the stupidity of other divers 🤣... Jokes aside, both you and Mark have been a great influence to my dive journey, hence the WTX setup... Appreciate it!

@cavediver1948 2 года назад

James, I have been cave diving for more than 20 years and in that time I have gone through 3 lights. I always used my waist strap to mount the battery pack. Four years ago i bought a dive rite style canister light.. Mounting it on my waist strap I could not reach the on-off switch. Then I had the light bulb of thought come on. My back plate has holes down both sides. I put two worm clamps with small d-rings on the canister and two small clips on the two holes on the back plate starting at the top. The canister goes upside down allowing me to easily turn the light off or on.

@SteinStylerLP 3 года назад

You could attach a 4 or 6mm bungee to your computer and compass instead of the band you use there. I did it and I'm very happy about I because it's way easier and faster to put it on my wrist. Just a small idea and keep going like that👍

@juliofrozendiver 4 года назад

Hi James, I had the same question as Daniel, Could you make a video on the same idea but on wing style BCD integrated weight?.(I dive with a Zeagle). Hugs.

@missyabado 2 года назад

Awesome video !!! I have one question though. The octo drives me nuts when it’s just dangling under my arm or In front of me. Can you suggest any other way to secure it that is nice and tidy ? Right now I fold the hose and put it in a D ring. I completely understand that may not be good for the hose in the long run but that’s the only solution I have right now

@bulljohnson6635 4 года назад

@aerobrain2001 10 месяцев назад

Thanks James, o it of interest, is there any reason you don’t have a reel/dsmb solution the already has the two joined together? I’m just getting back into diving and that’s something I used to use, just wondered if I’m missing a reason not to do it? Or is it dependant on reel choice ie just not ideal for the specific reel you use?! Ta

@bigrich6750 4 года назад

Been diving a BP and Wing for 20 years. I’m pretty much set up exactly like you have shown except my octo is on a necklace (made of bungee) around my neck. It sits right under my chin out of the way. If I have to share air, I will give my primary reg. I always know where it is, because it’s in my mouth, and I always know where my octo is because it is right under my chin. Simply lift it into my mouth - no looking for it or struggling to pull the hose out of wherever it’s mounted. I have never had a problem with this set up. The only other thing that I have different is a lift bag rolled up under the back of the BP where you have the safety sausage.

@LarsDennert 4 года назад

I prefer the little plastic ones that clip hose versus the ones that wear out the mouth piece. They have suicide clips to the d-rings but they are small and fine for recreational use. My kids use these and I have too but now use a necklace setup.

@bradallen5571 4 года назад

Excellent!! Thank you....I had already modeled much of my rig from stealing glimpses of yours in the Divers Ready catalog of videos. I do like my octo on a necklace and I've come up with a bungee solution for my compass so I don't have to wear it all the time but can still have it with me. Do you find the inflator hose a little long and dangley when your in trim? I've wondered about making mine a little more tucked into my body but still easy to access.

@oliverstubbs7637 4 года назад

I used to do the same with bungeeing the smb to the backplate. While diving cold water with drygloves and trying to get the smb out it got pushed through one of the bungees so that it was almost impossible to get loose. Also why not have the smb and reel as one unit?

@alle_namen_schon_vergeben708 4 года назад

He does his most dives in florida. I guess if he would dive in a drysuit he wouldn't do it that way. (It may be hard to unclip the camera aswell.)

@TheLoosenit2 4 года назад

good video. Why not just keep your knife on your webbing to the left of the buckle, standard DIR style?

@KimonFrousios 4 года назад

I guess it depends on how easily it can slide off the strap and be lost when you are kitting up/down. I wouldn't trust canvas loops without also adding a chunky weight stopper on the strap.

Put shaving foam in your mask then wipe it off. It stops the mask from misting up. You could also spit in it but shaving foam works better and is more readily available than anti mist stuff that you can buy online.
