Hello, First let me introduce myself. I have been lurking on the list for over a year now, I currently dive in the Puget sound and BC exclusively. I am a IANTD basic Nitrox diver (I know, I know, I'm going to get Andrew G. to train me soon) but for right now I dive with a GUE certified trimix/Full Cave/Rebreather diver as support, and for recreational dives. My question thought is this. When diving a Halcyon RB DIR the Long hose is clipped off to the right shoulder D-ring. The bolt snap is attached to the hose with a cable tie, right? Well, last week on a Recreational dive, my buddy (with the Halcyon) and I decide to do some OOA drills, and noticed that the amount of time it takes to unclip and pass the long hose to the OOA diver is pretty long compared to DIR open circuit. Now I realize that the Cable tie is used because it can be broken, but what about using the o-ring method to attach the bolt snap. Should be plenty strong normally, but much easier to break when you need to pass the long hose to an OOA diver. Any thoughts, Flames, etc would be greatly appreciated. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------ Aaron J.
