Yep, I should think so.  Lollipop hoses are the way to go, but I might be
convinced to use one of those little Oceanic plug-guages.  No one has
mentioned that these things were around for a while a LONG time ago (before
I started diving, but back when I was a dock rat, obsessed with all those
cool quahoggers in their drysuits and fisherman-sweaters) I have definitely
seen them before. More than 15 years ago.  Do any graybeards know why they
were not produced for a long time?
Oh, yeah.  I'm back online, now from Houston, Texas, where I have started
my new job as a geologist for the largest US oil company.  I haven't had
any time to check out the local diving, but I hope to soon  - it drives me
crazy to have to look at all the gear festooning my place....dry.  In the
meantime, I'll try not to spill anything :)
Cheers,
ABRILL
