mike do you think that you have to dive hogarthian to be able to switch a reg in the water. this technique is one that you guys use as a method of correcting a reg problem. well we can do it in the open water also. i have had & seen divers with reg problems & they if nesesary were fixed by switching fist or second stages on the hang line or on or in a wreck. dive on & on hank In a message dated 97-01-11 12:37:06 EST, you write: << Subj: Re: My Goodness Date: 97-01-11 12:37:06 EST From: Tennantm To: GarlooEnt, troppo@te*.co*.au* CC: wahoo-capt.janet@ju*.co*, wahoo-diving@ju*.co* CC: techdiver@terra.net =SNIP= Absolutely NOT!! If you lose a reg on you so highly regarded independents, what do you do? Switch to the other tank and head for the door, right? And you only have HALF of you gas! I on the otherhand, will have ALL of my gas. Furthermore, in a rush to get out or for whatever unforseen reason, your exit is delayed. Being solo, with half your gas, pending on the amount of time you are delayed, you might not have enough in that one cylinder. With a manifold, you would have twice as much. Get my point? Furthermore, just what is my environment? NE wrecks, caves (quite often), and Lauderdale (on occasion). So, it makes sense to use a rig that is perfect for all of these.......Hogarth 'Nuff sed >(that is if you can manage your gas- if >you can't take option number 1: don't dive). I manage very well, and yourself? >remember- DO IT RIGHT or don't do it at all. Likewise Troppo, maybe you should take your own advice and play golf. Mike >>
