     What works works........and my system works in cold sumps very 
well......I have been there and done it so I speak from experience 
..............  Use it or don't use it ......its your choice...............   
Since you have never even seen this system or tried it in a sump how can you 
intelligently comment on it......


      The hogarthian system by the way is designed for use by a team of divers 
working together, it includes the use of a manifold and long hose.


      I am diving SOLO with independent side mounts and no manifold in cold 
water.   This is not a hogarthian system........    it is a different 
environment and a different approach.   I am willing to give up the slight 
loss of streamlining with my approach because as I have stated the advantages 
in my enviroment out weigh the disadvantages.............    


      The cutters are in there carrier until I need them which is almost 
never. I don't make a habit of wrapping my self in line and cutting my self 
free......... 
      Even if they were out and I had to rapidly reach for some thing they are 
so light and the attaching lanyard is so short that it would not be a 
problem........................  I have tried this with this system and it 
works........ ................... My cutters are as likely to get tangled as a 
long hose on a Hogarthian diver is to strangle him.........or bats are likely 
to fly into your hair in a cave ..............these things just don't work 
that way ................



      Would I dive this when wearing a true Hogartian system on a scooter 
dive.    No because the environment is different and this system would not be 
appropriate or even needed.
