Subject: DIR reg rigging
Date: Tue, 30 Nov 1999 21:25:22 PST
Having just spent several hours re-rigging my doubles regs, I hope I have it 
right.  I'm sure someone will tell me...

Right Post(the one on the diver's right, with tanks on):
* long hose primary reg w/clip
* BC power inflator hose

Left Post:
* single pressure gauge, with clip for hip d-ring
* drysuit inflator hose
* short hose backup reg w/necklace

Hoses and 1st stages so they do not impede access to either tank knob or 
isolator knob.

Question: So, the drysuit inflator hose does not cross behind the head, 
correct?

You'd think that of the many sites somewhere this would be illustrated 
absolutely clearly, but I couldn't find one.  Tried Cobb's, Leonard's, 
Sallot's, WKPP, Halcyon, etcetera.

Someone tell me the reasoning for one pressure gauge only, and it being on 
the left post please?  I guess that:
* if it doesn't move, you know to check the valve is open
* if it moves too fast, you know to check the isolator is open
* if you have to shut off primary, or isolate, you are on your backup reg, 
so it's nice to know pressure for that side while you are aborting the dive

Thanks.

Cam
