<< But if you are really doing "rec" diving, this level of complexity is not needed >> Okay, I may get in trouble here, but Joel (he's DIR, right :-) Silverstein at one time posted part of his configuration as: "OMS 45's doubled for shallow dives where I want balance. Double 45's you say? I like the feel of my harness and I like my tanks not to roll. I don't care what anyone says, a wing with a single rolls. I have twin 45's with non-iso manifold (external dives only), 90 cuft at 2640, 120 at 3500." Is this a grey area where one can go either way and still dive within the confines of good safety and logic? << But a 80' dive in 5ft. vis, 40F water and a strong current on a fishline enshrouded wreck certainly is *not* a "rec" dive and should not be done with rec equipment if you are a sane person. It is this kind of diving which is pushing rec divers to do stuff like using pony's >> That about sums up much of my diving in the Northwest. No Florida ginwater, often poor visibility, colder climate and the possibility of losing ones buddy by just sneezing the wrong way.
