Are you one of them? :') Personally, I would rather find out my "buddy" turned my gas off while on the surface checking my reg. on the boat before jumping in or decesning than aborting a dive as I pass 80' because my reg's won't breath. This due to the fact my "buddy" thought he was turning my gas on, but instead turned it off, then back on 1/4 turn. Gas ON or Gas OFF. That simple. T.J. tjm@ea*.ne*
