Jan, BINGO on the venomous snake analogy, but you really do not need any "poney" with a dual port manifold, and the three reg over the shoulder thing breaks the rules of regs taht we designed to keep the order in tact. Can you also explain to these strokes when and how we use the floats and down/up line ( like you and I did with Hank and Bill) , the free diving floats ( like you and I did with Bill) and why? This guy suttton claims he got a "laugh out of this" . I want to keep this guy amused. Can you also tell Sutton ( he has a filter on my messages so can not see them), that Dr. Benjamin came up with the dual outlet manifold in 1969, and he can see a picture of this in one of Rob Palmer's books where not only Benjamin himself is wearing one, but Jim Lockwood and Frank Martz. The picture of Martz was as he was getting ready to die diving double steeel with a wetsuit ( and no bc) in 1971 at 300 plus on air in a cave in the Bahamas. Where was big Dave Sutton when the manifold came along?
