Jim, 

Many of us were diving independant doubles long before the "isolation
manifold" was available. And for some types of dives it is quite a simple
set up. I just spent a week in Bonaire diving independant doubles, doing
primarily very long no-stop enriched air dives. It was pretty simple I
packed my backplate, wings, and a set of bands. 

123... i got doubles. .... 90 minutes dives sure were more fun than 45
minute ones.

Now... someone tell me what the difference is between diving a set of
independant doubles and diving side-mounts.  Seems like gas management
rules are the same, redundancy is the same, still need two first, second,
and SPG's. 

Some times a set of splits works just fine.
