An Armchair Diver's Guide to Technical Rig Setup

Paul Toomer

You are as excited as Adam waiting for the miracle of his missing rib being turned into some prime totty in the Garden of Eden. You have just returned from a little spending spree down your local dive emporium. The boot of your car is overflowing with kit. Twinset, regs, a neat little gauge, a wing, a roll of webbing, a packet of D rings, a VRx... You name it, it's in that boot.

So, you have carted it all into the lounge, relocated the family to a nearby motel for the lack of room and you are now ready to get building. Ha Ha! Whatever! Bring it on fat boy! Do you remember when you were a kid and your Dad was building that 5,000 piece jigsaw of the sky at night? Six months and all he had was the corners.

So how the hell do you put all this crap together and why is it setup that way..?
