Bill,

  Okay that's something i missed.  

  In the Jablonski article, he mentions the use of a small dring on the right
side of the light for additional stages, in addition to those placed on the
left. I dont recall a max number for the left, and I know that another
practice is to tow floating bottles tied to the lower left d ring.   

  Is the cannister d ring now totally unacceptable? 

  Or is it ' hogarthian' , but not "doing it right'? 

 Would there be a difference for open water, between the two? 

    Are there other aspects of what was once considered ' hogarthian' that are
no longer accepted as' doing it right '' ?? 

  Personally Im not using any stage bottles right now , but I want to be clear
on what to do prior to actually doing it.

  Regards,

  AL Marvelli    aka  KybrSose@ao*.co*
