You can untangle it. It's at the front where you can see what you're 
breathing, You won't get keyed into a restriction or wreckage, you
can hand it off if necessary. Don't be a dickhead Phil.

The converts are those who get off their arses and try it.

of idiots like you. Now you can start a club. I suggest BSAC (British 
Sub Aqua Clowns).
