- Lift with your legs, not your back.
- Don’t lift the tanks by the manifold (the part connecting both tanks).
- Make adjustments to your weight to account for change in buoyancy.

We had a chiropractor in our dive club that loved divers with doubles :)
Dispite what some DIR types might tell you do not use the same set-up for everything, doubles are not right for surf entries!

a friend gave me the setup and I plan on playing with them a little. Not as a regular thing.

I’ve been diving a dry suit lately with 17-21 lbs weight. how much weight do you think with doubles?

I don’t dive doubles but, I would think you would want to understand how to, and have the ability to isolate either of the tanks in the case of an emergency. Two tanks of air wont help much if they are both emptying at a high rate of speed.
In general, as a new diver spend as much time learning and re-leaning your gear. Good habits should be muscle memory.

I am not worried about air consumption. In general I get 30-40 minutes on an 80 at 100 ft profile and about 50-60 minutes on an 80 at a 60 ft profile. Just thought I would play around a bit.
