A few days ago I answered a post by Janet, the New England boat captain, regarding advantages of independents vs. manifolds. At that time (and a few times before that) I posed the following question: How are independents SAFER than manifolded doubles? There has been much banter here about certain advantages of independents and the pro-manifold people have pointed out advantages of thier system. Advantages of independents included thing like easier to handle on boats, reduced cost if you have a burst disk go, fewer total tanks needed for a multiday boat trip, etc. But, NOBODY has pointed out any way that independents are SAFER than manifolded doubles. Most of the advantages of manifolded doubles have to do precisely with safety. I would conclude that since the pro-independent croud really can't point out advantages of independents that make them safer, that indeed they ARE NOT safer! -- Dave Mabry dmabry@mi*.co* Great Lakes Maritime Institute Underwater Research Team
