Subject: Re: George and Bill
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?

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.
