Well, this has been informative... Not quite as informative as I would have hoped, but informative nevertheless. Here's what I got Good points: The tanks will be very awkward to handle on most boats You will be unable to hear gas flowing through the hoses thus making it harder to detect a leak. The manual two tank gas management system only makes sense when diving in the extreme conditions that would preclude the use of a SPG. Bad points and insults ignored... My goal here is to study as many diving methodologies as possible, learn from each one, and adopt the best that each has to offer. Personally I don't think there is one right method. I think you need to rig to meet the needs of the dive. But at the same time, some constancy needs to be present so that you and your dive buddy (if you have one) are instinctually familiar with the emergency procedures. I think the intolerance of anything different needs to end. When I was first certified 11 years ago, my PADI instructor warned me of the evil NAUI divers When I first inquired about diving in NJ, most dive shops snubbed me off as a lowly Caribbean diver. When I went to school for commercial diving, I was a lowly rubber sucker. Now I'm "wrong" if I don't dive DIR? What's next..... All I know is that with each dive I do, I strive to become a better diver. With each mistake, a lesson learned. And with each step taken, I'm that much closer to finding my own way. - Craig Waldman -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
