Are they top heavy or are you flatter in the water? Ie better trimmed out as I feel slighty head down but am flatter if you see what i mean. Where are your bands the top one should I believe be just at the cylinder break where it goes form curved to flat. Im sure a more experianced twin set diver will be able to help better ie Stew

on my twin 10's i have the bands at the same cylinder break which is pretty much right for most folk.
on my twin 12's i have the top band around 1 inch down.
more to do with your physical height than any hard & fast rule, but as a guide, within 2 inches would be standard.

agir brok twinning bands :eek: you have too much cash (or did have) :D

Well, I was thinking of coming along for my last hurrah before getting my eyes zapped and being dry for a month - but now my bottom lip has gone all petted and I'm sniffing.

Maybe I could go and we could have a bigger than normal buddy separation - about a quarter of a mile should do.

Will do. You'll soon not be allowed to to dive with strokes like me anyway.

By sheer coincidence there's a documentary on Sky right now about Jim Jones and his Kool-Aid:D
