Michele,

The DIR on deco bottles is to have them all on one side (left) rather than
on separate sides. This is why the harness doesn't have a D ring on the
right side of the waist strap, that's where the cannister light goes.

As for Tony, the hose rigged in a noose around your neck is much more
effective, that way when you snag yourself it will finish the job quickly
instead of just tying you up and you running out of air slowly and
painfully...

I tried and currently use the DIR routing of the long hose without deco
bottles, and I find it really practical and comfortable.
Do you use the same routing when you have deco bottles (one per side) ?
Thanks.

Michele
