Jeff,

You are so wrong.  The hogarthian rig is much cheaper than a Scubapro
Classic, Transpac, or Scubapro SeaHawk.  You can buy the OMS single tanks
bands and use the rig with singles.

In fact, my 16 year old is at Crystal River today diving that way with his
Marine Biology class.

The whole deal is hundreds of dollars cheaper than what the manufacturers
sell, it is simpler, safer and certainly more streamlined.
