Also, I wrap the long hose with surgical tubing on the right side of my twins. I've avoided wrapping the long hose around my neck on the advice of my instructor who is worried about a gas sharing incident with someone coming from behind me. Can you help me with a better configuration? ****************************************************************** David Norton "How much deeper would the ocean be if sponges didn't live there?" -Stephen Wright OW: PADI Divemaster 96197 Tech: IANTD Adv.
