Kent I'm going to jump in the pool in a couple hour and play with this idea.

I feel that it would be abit more warrented to look at the first problem senario, the transfer were you hand off you primary and switch to a secondary that has been turned off. But you bring up some good points and im sure I'll be thinking of them for a while. > Afterall, its in a restriction that you are most likely to roll the valve off. > Do you have a signal for this contingency?

A signal is a foot in the mouth. The trouble is getting to your knob quickly in that restriction as well as your OOA buddy reaching your gear to rip it off you. -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
