Doubles is using two cylinders banded together, usually connected by a manifold that allows gas to flow freely between both cylinders. In the old days when cylinders were typically much smaller, it was common to see triple setups for the bigger dives.Oooh. Now that must have been painful. It makes me so glad I'm female

Tripples, I think I remember seeing that in a Cousteau video or two back in the day. Wow, can you imagine that extra weight for 3 38 cubic foot cylinders.....
8hrs later and it is still funny....
Actually I just saw them on ebay, tripple AL30's with a tripple manifold all inside an ABS housing. There is about 30 minutes left in the auction.

Absolutely, and yes It is still funny 18hrs later too!
I maybe simple but I'm easy too!
Wow, that unit looked pristine and it went for only $500.
Yes, it did look near perfect! I wonder if it is something that could still be used, and if you would really want to use it. It is only 90 cubic feet of air in all of that weight, it would be much easier to carry 1 steel 95.
It would look cool though, and you could rest assured that you would be the only diver on the boat with tripples!
yea so back to dady-h20's question about the crotch strap and free diving?
