Just for the rest of the world we will keep the material by those of us 
you refer to as strokes, along with JJ's. Everyone cannot be as perfect 
as you, so for us we will share other points of view. Even JJ does it 
slightly different than you, same configuration just some minor 
alternations on it. We think covering a few other types of diving 
situtations and config is benefisical to overall diver education. This 
will allow divers to make informed decisions on config. By the way 
there is not one single incident of anyone badmouthing anyone on this 
tape. 

We look forward to your comments and you will be sent the first copy we 
have in stock.

The presenters are :
Tom Mount gives an overview of config theory, then presents two methods 
of congig, both of which most likely in Bill Mains definition would 
qualify as hogarth, but most likely will not in georges definition

Billy Deans presents an ideal config for offshore diving, this system 
includes emergency location equipment and other components that are 
additive to open sea safety

Larry Green shows how to set up stage cylinders and a streamlined 
backplate.

Lamar Hires guides the viewer through the intrigiencies of setting up a 
side mount configuration.

JJ demonstrates the hogarth cofig as practiced by and endorsed by the 
WKPP.

Yes it does feature buttmounted lights, waist mounted lights and 
backplate mounted lights, this alone should be worth a months net time 
in discussions

It also features some common configs that we recommend not be used and 
the reasons are spelled out with valid points

The tape can be purchased from IANTD facilities internationally in us 
version and pal
