Many many thanks for bringing a smile to our faces in these times, Alec. Your videos are the perfect mix between knowledge and humor. Keep blowing bubbles!
I can just imagine you arriving back at the boat and asking for a hand up with the gear. Hope they have a derrick? Also nice to see they had an extra stage in the water there in case you ran low! Love it!
Annnnnnd it has a J VALVE! YAY! Mike would have been so proud. Need one on your J rods I bought from you back? You going to build a pink set for your wife next? This is fun.
Alec, you are the best! And I love the Star Wars theme! You are total inspiration! Keep putting together these cool Concepts! Thanks for an entertaining Tech tip segment!
That was so cool! I was cracking up watching you try to get in the water. :-) You now need to make another set so you and Diana can play a game of Monopoly under water! :-)
I think I would have set the tanks on the steps in the water, just to make your entry a bit easier. Other than that, great. Imagine how many hours you could spend in teen feet of pool water.
Loved the opening Kevin and that’s a great to see the 6 tank configuration. I could spend a lot of time under the water. Now that’s really cool y’all. What if Sea Hunt could use that in the making of the show
You are some man lol . Amusing video . I can bet a lot of research and hard work went in to building this crazy cylinder setup .looked like the weight had you on your side most of the time . Plus glad you could get out of the harness fast .
Very impressive. I have seen divers with silly numbers of tanks before, but this is the first time I have seen them all on someone's back. Quite the construction, well done.
I've gone from not knowing who you were a few weeks ago, to watching a couple of episodes every day! This had me in stitches! I'm in lockdown and can't get to my dives sites right now so thanks for the laugh, Alec :)
Amazing as always Alec. That's made my day. What a laugh 🤣 That must of took you & your friends some time to set up. Very entertaining I'll show the lads in the pub later for sure. 😆🍺👌
It was a long time getting finished. When at the pub, play the Alec Peirce drinking game: take a shot every time i say: zoom in here Kevin, stone age, make fun of Kevin, I'm old, look at Kevin... You get the picture, enjoy your pub day.
Brother-diver Alec, very, VERY cool set-up! I roughly calculated that if a diver was experienced (very easy with air-consumption), he/she could be down for something like 7.5 to 8 hours! I got this estimate by multiplying 5 by 1.5, & came up with the number. Something to be said for the ol' saying, "I would've loved to have been down watching the cute fishies & other critters, ALL DAY LONG!" (Don't you agree?)
Yay for SW crawl (those are the jedi mind tricks, huh) and nay for virus. Quarantined for 2 weeks after being positively tested. Glad we've got your videos, Alec, thank you!
The proper dive technique tells me to inflate my BCD before I dive: what you did there was go in with no way to support the weight of not only a standard tank, but 5 tanks connected simultaneously. There are divers who usually use backplates along with BCDs in order to comfortably dive with Twin Tanks. Reason why anyone would want to dive with two tanks instead of one is mainly for safety reasons and more air, though I would think you'd need to specialise in use of this equipment to be able to actually use it - the main issue as you can see from this video is buoyancy - with no way to control buoyancy - you can't signal to the ship that you are okay, you can't safely follow the guideline to the bottom, you can't really keep your trim in the water and you'll essentially be a stone in the water without some way to compensate for all that weight and worst of all: if you're stuck in a situation where you're out of air and all your tanks suddenly don't supply you with enough air you're going to have a hard time performing the controlled emergency ascent. Not saying you can't have fun: but, I kinda saw this coming the moment you were sat at the edge of the pool struggling to push yourself in. Also, I spent a lot of time passing my exam for diving so I can't help but point out the problem with this setup. If it was me I'd think about an exoskeleton or some kind of equipment you could use to easily put on and take off the tanks as well as some sort of BCD that could be used to support 5 tanks although this would be sort of overkill since - you're not going to generally need 5 tanks for a swimming pool. Still, quite a fun setup even though you would probably need extra equipment to be able to use this safely.
When I worked in Cyprus we had tanks up to 15L 300 bar for rent, for the air hogs. I know some technical divers also used them for wreck penetration dives on the massive Zenobia wreck(which I did two dives on at the end of my 3 months working there). One such tank has almost half the air of your 6 tank setup, so I guess a doubles set would be almost the same. The best part is that it'd weigh less than half.
Would aluminum tanks help with the weight problem and control of balance while underwater? Would two rows of three tanks help with balance and weight distribution? I always enjoy your videos.
Not really. The total setup would still be greater than my soaking wet weight. Plus I get to work on maybe a Part 2 with better buoyancy control and a better entry. Maybe a giant stride?
Dear Mister Peirce, I am currently writing an Essay on the attack on the Lusitania in WW1 and I am searching for a specific article that was published in the „Skin Diver Magazine“ around 1980. It was a small article on the Lusitania military arms transport verification. I searched for it online and found your channel and your „vintage scuba“ playlist. Can you may recall such an article or similar articles that were published dealing with the Lusitania from a divers perspective? That would be of great help!
What a monstrosity! But in a good way. Now you gotta figure out how to bring food for days on end dives with you! I'm amazed those clamps on the high pressure hose hold. Shouldn't it have stronger clamps? You should easily save the galaxy from evil with that contraption. Keep up the good work
It's one of reasons I only go to 2,475 psi. I know the clamps will hold this pressure as I have used them on other projects. Glad to help save the galaxy from boredom.
XO bring us up to periscope deep. Periscope deep aye aye captain. ........ Con Sonar !!!!"CRAZY ALEX"!!!! Shut dow ... CON SONAR AIR TANKS IN THE WATER !!!!! Quick do the brave Sir Robin maneuver !! AYE AYE CAPTAIN all hands on my mark ...... RUN AWAY , RUN AWAY.
Just a question aren't the connecting hoses screwed into side of each manifold connected into the place of the burst disks? (Isn't that why they are the fine thread?)
Check again Adam, all burst disks are intact, I'm not crazy. Burst disks are: 3 on the blue, 2 red and 1 yellow. The centre blue is under the reg so hard to see. Hope you liked my 2 day dive tanks. A.
@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter haha no problem I was laughing so much thinking how someone like me that empties an alu 80 at 3200 psi in 45 min would really need that rig haha !! ... I just came back from servicing my sp bronze 50th edition at Kanata diving and had them to install a quick disconnect and a swivel valve at my second stage as it is on a ots spectrum ... cant wait to dive again
@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter He was deathly (no pun intended) afraid of running out of gas on a dive and designed his own multi-tank system from seven SCBA composite bottles. You’ll find a photo of the system that killed him here: www.yorkshire-divers.com/threads/wanted-photo-of-diver-wearing-loads-of-tanks.44602/
I always thought the old US Divers triple 44s were a great tank block, but no one makes a stock triple tank valve anymore. Triple aluminum 40s would be great.
If you want to see vintage triple tanks, watch my Sea Hunt Remembered playlist, video S03E12 "Vintage Diving: Sea Hunt Forever 2019". There should be a triple used by one of the divers.
@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter That was fun (video S03E12). I've been watching some old Sea Hunt episodes on UA-cam. I noticed that in the water, Mike had round bottom doubles, and on the surface, he had flat bottom doubles. So much for continuity :-). Also, Mike's J valve was always in the "reserve in use" position, effectively making it a K valve..
Won't do carbon fibre as they are not widely scuba approved as steel and aluminium are. Systems 300 bar and over are tec or commercial diving. My goal is the general scuba population from interested to instructor. There are several tec channels on UA-cam that will have information of interest to you. Thanks for watching John.
I want one of those. Looks far cooler than those little rebreathers. If you attached another 4 Regs it would like a octopus & you could tell people that 5 of you breath off the same air & can last just as they can on their air🤪🤣
Unfortunately my friend just showed me this video. And unfortunately the owner of the dive shop where I work has a 30+ year accumulation of all the components I need to build the damned thing. And unfortunately, I am an idiot. The self-proclaimed Lead Technician for the Experimental Dive Unit at Do It Wrong Diving International. I’m curious, why did you stop at six bottles? I think I have at least two dozen old manifold pieces lying around.
it is a technical joke !!!, Just being able to maintain a certain balance is a challenge by itself. I observed closely your setup and my conclusion is that the clips and the hoses used to link the tanks together are not compatible for high pressure use. One way to use efficiently that setup is to reserve 1 tanks for the diver and use the remaining five to feed a pneumatic motor that will drive a hefty propeller so the diver will act as a bullet underwater. have a good day.
Only filled to their proper limit of 2,475 psi. The hoses and connectors can go higher as my engineering friend Roger assured me of no hose or manifold problems. Just need to work on the buoyancy and a graceful entry.
Is it the first time we hear swearing on the show? Should R rate it then. On the plus side, R rating should allow the producer to add some additional scenes with the adult film star!
There was more but it was cut out by Kevin who only let that one slip stay, party pooper! Your right, only time we let this stay in a video. Lots more to get you laughing.
Alex, you made my day! Can’t wait to get my cert card for this one. Keep up the good work and star safe.
Thanks! You too!

Depends who you ask: my wife = YES, Kevin = Maybe, grandkids = NOPE.
It's the Corellian AIRvette! Awesome! It's only usable by Wookies and Banthas LOL. Cool video and custom system =]

It took 3 of us to get it out of the pool. I like the crane idea for entry and exit. Now I need to build a boat to hold this, hmmmm. Thanks Tim.
@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter There's already a boat that is designed to deal with that much air; it's called the Ohio Class.
Now i wont be the first back on the boat (maybe) !!!! TYVM Mr. Peirce!!!
Drop me off in the morning, pickup at dinner please!
Avesome system! You only need to put 8mm bolts on tk 3 cylinder bands an then wing an backplate. Looks just like a deep dive rig :-))
I really need 50 pounds of muscle, its HEAVY but the air is cool.
Awesome we are looking forward to part two with a double hose and perhaps a wing?
A double hose reg with a tank BC carried by many sherpas. Thinking about a part 2 to fix the initial surprises. Take care Rob.
This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Great job Alec!
I would love to see a video that’s all about just diving doubles.
Thanks for the idea!
Annnnnnd it has a J VALVE! YAY!
Mike would have been so proud.
Need one on your J rods I bought from you back?
You going to build a pink set for your wife next?
This is fun.
My wife was laughing the entire time thinking, why did I marry him again.
Alec, you are the best! And I love the Star Wars theme! You are total inspiration! Keep putting together these cool Concepts! Thanks for an entertaining Tech tip segment!
Thanks! Will do Brian. Still have lots of laughs in me to share.
Ahaha you have air for a whole weekend of diving! 👍
One fill and good for the entire weekend, week, month....
Alex, you been diving longer then I've been alive and ur still at it.
God bless you and keep u healthy. We need more of ur Tips. Thank you.....
Glad you like them Richard. More coming every 2 weeks until lock downs end in Ontario Canada.
That was so cool! I was cracking up watching you try to get in the water. :-) You now need to make another set so you and Diana can play a game of Monopoly under water! :-)
I was hoping to stay under until the Covid was gone, nope. Need a bigger tank, MORE AIR!!!
OUTSTANDING !!
And crazy.
I think I would have set the tanks on the steps in the water, just to make your entry a bit easier. Other than that, great. Imagine how many hours you could spend in teen feet of pool water.
At first I really though I could pull in forward into the water. But the face plant method is still and accepted PADI entry, right?
Hi Alec, you made me laugh a lot, I loved your creativity.
Thanks! 😃

This is the best. Love it
Appreciate you watching my crazy projects.
smile, great video
Thank you 😁
Tec Divers will hate this trick 🤣
Oh they already have options about me. Don't care as I was diving long before tec was thought of (including commercial hard hat diving).

dive like a butterfly entered like a brick sort as....
But a very handsome brick!
With some big 300 bar tanks filled up with their +10% you could have gotten a similar result with only 3 and it would’ve been somewhat manageable
Probably but not as much fun or a challenge to get it to work properly.

This is crazy
But really fun!

thats enough tanks for 3 divers ;)

Only when I hit the pool bottom. Thanks for watching.
In the cave community it's std operating procedure to pump a pair of steel 95's to 3300-3600 psi, netting 240c.f.!
Wow, thats a lot of air.
OK, double that and I should be good for 42 minutes.
Yes but to what depth? 15ft or 20 ft? Ha ha. Thanks Bill.
@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter You see through me, Alec!
It needs 2 stubby buoyant wings and 2 electric props. You "Fly it "
I many just add that.
it is a technical joke !!!,
Just being able to maintain a certain balance is a challenge by itself.
I observed closely your setup and my conclusion is that the clips and the hoses used to link the tanks together are not compatible for high pressure use.
One way to use efficiently that setup is to reserve 1 tanks for the diver and use the remaining five to feed a pneumatic motor that will drive a hefty propeller so the diver will act as a bullet underwater.
have a good day.
That is a good idea. An underwater 007 type jet diver! Thanks Jacques.
1:17 он перекрестился 🤣 я тоже так делаю
Спасибо. Мне было нужно, потому что в тот день в воде никогда не было. Заботиться.
Yeah a BC isn't going to help, that rig is going to be hard to keep centered and not turtle.
It needs a hot air ballon to keep it centred on my skinny body. Should I do a part 2 with under water clips next time?
@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter Pretty much, balancing doubles is hard enough and that is over twice the weight.
@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter Brother-diver Alec, YES! We need to see a Part 2 for sure!
I guess you didn't blow those tanks up all the way to 3,000 psi, those flexi hose clips don't look rated for much beyond 20 bar to me...... ;-)
Only filled to their proper limit of 2,475 psi. The hoses and connectors can go higher as my engineering friend Roger assured me of no hose or manifold problems. Just need to work on the buoyancy and a graceful entry.
this is a poor man ccr!
It may cost as much as a CCR when I'm done. More tweeting to do.
Retirement is hell, ain't it?
Absolutely. No time for fun things at all!!
Is it the first time we hear swearing on the show? Should R rate it then.
On the plus side, R rating should allow the producer to add some additional scenes with the adult film star!
There was more but it was cut out by Kevin who only let that one slip stay, party pooper! Your right, only time we let this stay in a video. Lots more to get you laughing.
Still wont last as long as my ccr
Probably not but its fun anyway.
@@AlecPeirceScuba_SeaHunter on the other hand, that stack o’ tanks isn’t spending all it’s spare time thinking of ways to kill you. 🤣
needs a bc
Needs a lift bag ! Maybe a part 2 some day.
