I guess the obvious needs to be mentioned as well: the hose is too short to configure properly from the other post, too short to share properly, and a kinking ( read shutoff ) problem . A backup on the right is a comeplete cluster. Instructors who teach this are robbing their customers of any reasonable chance to progress at this sport, and they do it beucase they do not themselves do any real diving, have any real gear, or know anything worth know\oing in the first place. The dead giveaway with all of these guys is that they complain so bitterly about me and go to any lengths to oppose me in secret and in behind the scenes ways. I am just another diver. This tells you we are exposing something here that they do not want you to konw. I could see it with them losing there deep air insurance, but what is the rest of the fear all about? Who cares what I think?
