I hear this BS all the time. 1) "Hogarthian just isn't redundant enough to make me comfortable" If convolution makes you comfortable, then you obviously aren't committed to diving is a safe manner, and haven't thought out the real risk factors in diving. Hence Rule #1. 2) "A cave diving rig isn't suitable/applicable in open water" Hmmm... seems to work fine for me, and a whole bunch of other people, even some those who are doing some "real" open water diving. All these points have been covered before, and I challenge ANYONE to rationally argue against the hogarthian system without using the word "personal", "preference", or "comfort" etc. At 01:56 PM 1/18/98 -0500, tae@pe*.ne* wrote: >> OR......MAYBE..........Other divers have different parameters by which they dive.
