First dive with two 80cf tanks. Eli fashioned a stage bottle setup so I could "sling" an additional tank for an extended dive. The tank was attached to the BCD d-rings with bolt snaps.
At first, it was a little awkward having a tank below me, but I was real surprised at how easy it was to get use to. In fact, I thought my buoyancy overall was better.
Water was a little chilly about halfway into the dive. I don't get cold easily, but being in the water for over two hours sure did it for me. I should invest in my own exposure protection if I'm to do this again.
Towards the end of the dive, I practiced removing the tank and reattaching it. I wasn't too worried about switching tanks at 250 psi intervals, but I did change tanks over at 1500psi because the slung tank started getting light, then I started swapping at 500psi intervals.
