George,

My rig is primarily what you have promoted in your posts and your video.  I 
am grateful to you for widely promoting your system.  I have tried it and 
found that it does, indeed work.  I have only made two substantitive changes 
for my own diving.

I use a fastec (sp?) buckle on my crotch strap.  Since I do not use a scooter 
there is no real strain on this fastener and I think if it were to break for 
any reason it would pose no real problem anyway.  I have tried it without the 
buckle but the quick connect just makes it easier to get in and out of the 
rig.  

I also carry my deco bottles on both sides.  Again I do not use a scooter so 
the right side one is not in the way and I feel like I am better balanced 
that way getting into and out of the water, especially in heavy weather.  I 
usually only carry them down the anchor or mooring line to the wreck and then 
take them off and stow them untill I am ready to ascend anyway.

Safe diving,
Dale
