Anthony,

In the US, the neckstrap on the single hose regulators was phases out back
in the early 70's as a "HAZARD".  Since then, I don't think I have
seen a single hose reg that comes new with a neck strap.  Thus, the comment
about tech divers "going back" to neck straps.

I agree wholeheartedly that a small, streamlined neutral rebreather is
probably the winner hands down when it comes to mimimizing drag for
comparable bottom line allowed.

I also second the motion for neck straps with rebreathers (and/or double
hose regulators).  Nemrod is apparently the only company (unless there
is one in Russia) that continues to make and market a modern double hose
regulator.
