And good divers will usually overcome the perils of a bullshit rig if they
work hard enough at it. 

That doesn't change the reality that it's a bullshit rig, and that there's a
better way to do it.

Besides, a clean, well-conceived rig and clean, well-executed diving are not
separate issues. Where you find the second you will almost always find the
first. One reason good divers are good is that they don't waste effort
trying to make bullshit work.

Which reminds me, Jason: are you still telling people on rec.scuba that the
long hose ought to be clipped off at the chest, because that's the most
likely place a panicky diver will reach for air?
