Subject: Re: WRECK GEAR

You dont have to change anything from the hogarthian consept to dive in
cold water enviroment with limited vis. I live and dive in Sweden, way up
north, and would not prefer to dive any other way than hogarthian. I dive
both caves and wrecks and dont ever find a reson to make major changes to
the configuration betwen different dives. 

Have met divers diving one setup in caves and the day after another way on
wreck including stuffed longhose and breathing the short hose and using ean
80 and diving deep on air. These guys tends to end up with a life full of
adrenaline and exitement. Not from the actual impression of the object they
are diving but due to the way they preform  the dive it self.  

With a Halcyon wing you will not have any problem finding were to put the
reel and lift bag. If you prefer to use a sausage, put it in the suit pocket.

I would put the rest of the tools you mention in the garage back home if
the actual dive did not demand them. Bring only the important equipment
that you need to do the dive, not the stuff that you might need if you ever
would be that lucky to find a car to repair down there:-)

take care,
Rich
