Nelson, just one minor detail here: WKPP and GUE do not dive "Hogarthian",
we use the DIR system. Hogarthian was prior to outside port isolator
manifolds and most of the other modern gear, but was the original thinking
by Gavin that we grew from.
I started diving with Gavin in 1991, but used the current gear configuration
which JJ and I developed and did so with an eye to one system that would
work for all types of diving without serious modification. Hogarthian did
not envision what we do today, and DIR goes further than just the gear rig
itself.

Hi, I'm a new subscriber, introducing myself:
I've been reading the list for about a year. I live in New England and
dive wrecks in the 170' to 240' range (Trimix); I also dive caves and love
getting down to Florida. Thanks to many of you, inc. JJ, for his persuasive
GUE article on Hogarthian principles; Todd Leonard, for his excellent
website
on "how to" gear Hogarthian; Scott Hunsucker, for valuable O2 information &
physiology; Cobber, for insight into better ways of using helium! And
George
(of course), whose myriad ideas have helped me evolve into a better, safer
diver (still ongoing!).
Just 2 examples: proper hip-mounting of a small (6 ft3) argon cylinder
(ideal for cold-water wrecks!), and correct marking/deployment of deco
bottles (also, why they should be aluminum, not steel... boy, that's more
comfortable!) with 40" hoses so the reg wraps easily behind your head.
Thanks to all, I look forward to learning more!
Nelson Perry
