If you get stuck and your buddy is ahead of you and the tanks are inverted and your primary rolls off, how's he going to reach them? Another is simple economy. If I pay 700 bucks plus for a pair of doubles and manifold, why would I mount them in a position where they are almost gauranteed to be damaged? to prevent that when inverted, you have to put some sort of cage over the manifold and now you have another entanglement hazard that you can't get to. the"fix" requires another "fix" which requires another "fix" and on and on. the solution is K.I.S.S. as demonstrated by DIR. BTW- Cool Website Regards Brock ------=_NextPart_000_0055_01BF9ECA.FD9EFA20 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2014.210" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT size=3D2> Hi Keith:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3D2> The main reason is when diving = thru any=20 restriction or entanglement, even fishing line in your local lake, = you want=20 those valves as close to you or your buddy as possible.
