Looks like those two are going bug hunting! Looks to me like they're both carrying one of those nifty Halcyon tickle stick/snares... I've been using one myself lately....with a great deal of success! Observations about the diving rigs: -yes...looks as though the backup reg has been run under Bill's arm. I've done this from time to time myself. Makes it a tiny bit harder to switch to (to breathe from it comfortably, I've had to move it over my arm...but it's still VERY functional) but keeps the hose out of the way...especially if you're planning to be inside a place with sharp edges that could cut an exposed hose. -yes again...Looks like George is on a single tank. Take only what you need, right? -Case diveman@cy*.co* Adri KC Haine wrote: > > George and Bill, > > I came upon a picture of what must be George Irvine and Bill Mee preparing for an ocean dive. > Have a few questions about the gear being used, if you don't mind. > First, it looks like Bill has his backup regulator running under his arm. Is this to further enhance his profile under water? This might actually be a great idea, especially since it keeps the hose really tight against the body. > Second, Is George diving a single or is the picture misleading? > > Just asking you guys, any of you care to comment on this snapshot?
