My BC is a
Zeagle
Ranger with an Octo+ octopus and an additional
vest pad installed. It is supremely comfortable, and with its integrated weight
system, I don't have to wear a separate weight belt (I hate weight belts).
It has a unique rip-cord weight release system that is derived from Zeagle's
experience manufacturing sky-diving packs.

Regulator |
![U.S. Divers Micra Adjustable regulator](images/micraada.gif) |
My regulator is a
U.S. Divers
Micra Adjustable. I chose it more for its small
size than for its adjustable properties. Just the same, the ability to fine
tune the breathing resistance is very nice.

Dive Computer |
![U.S. Divers Pivot Matrix Master dive computer](images/pivotma.gif) |
For my instrument console I chose a
U.S. Divers
Pivot Matrix Master dive computer.
It is essentially a standard console boot with an analog SPG, compass, and
digital dive computer.
Friendly Tip: Don't forget to activate your dive
computer before you descend! I thought I had activated it on one of my dives but
I hadn't, and the Matrix Master won't activate while you are at depth. I had
to use my dive buddy's (analog) depth guage for the whole dive!

Snorkel |

My snorkel is a
SeaQuest
SideDraft Flex. Mine is black though, not green.

Accessories |
![Dive Alert DA-2 air horn](images/da2.gif) |
I have a number of accessories including:
Installed between the low-pressure inflator hose and the Octo+ octopus is a
Dive Alert
DA-2 air horn. It is very loud and very effective at getting the boat's attention
if you need assistance.
Not pictured are my Deep See diving knife, boots, and gloves, and a host
of other widgets.
