I'm still pretty new at this, and using boats that cater to "recreational" divers as our objectives are not very deep, so most of the time it's just me and my teammate doing dives requiring stages. The few times there has been more than one such team, we have usually worked out a way to share one equipment line. Typically that involves staggering the dives or having one team deco on the anchor line while the other uses the equipment line. There have been times I've seen 2 or 3 lines on a 40-ish foot or larger boat. Its not awful. On the boats we use, the mates are happy to help set the line and haul it in. They also don't mind if we do it. -- Art Greenberg artg@ec*.ne* -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
