Registered but lurked for a bit

Hog diving since '95-'96ish, had to learn off t'interweb.

Did cave 1 in 2000, but really to gain wreck pen. skills, however, did like caves and went to Lot in 2001.

Lost touch with DIR buddies in the meantime and got KISS'd.

Although I said I'd dive it all the time, there are times when OC is just so much easier, so that is Hog/DIR.

Hi Paul.... hope you like the board.

(no need for a room here then

)

Hi Paul,

Suddenly I don't feel quite so lonely. Ok I do actually.

Where do you stand on breaks in harnesses with the KISS? I have a one-ish piece harness but a few KISS divers have suggested that I might want to be able to tighten it underwater for the WOB.

What do you reckon?

Well we do have a whole RB board to play on elsewhere

Well a the risk of hijacking a whole board

, so far I've not altered the harness in anyway from it's DIR config, so it has no shoulder breaks.
I dive it with single 12's, twin 7's twin 12's and the kiss, I just bolt whatever I want onto it.

Mine's fairly snug anyway, and fits as described in the instructions and most sites.
Re. the WOB issue, I was speaking to Gordon and Kim at the show and they suggested, in response to my question about 17" hoese being short, the the unit should be moved higher onto one's back, this should help with WOB and the all important trim.

Hi Claire
Would there have to be room for a three?

Yes, the board looks good, good luck with it.
I'll keep any further RB discussions elsewhere unless I manage to get an RB80
