Adrian,
Do you think it would work with 1 full turn, or must it be *exactly* 2 half
turns ?

And what bullshit paranoia do you attribute the "two half turns " to?
This is the kind of mindless crap that gets people killed. I will say right
here and now that you can come up with no reason to do something that stupid
that makes any sense what so ever. Give it a try.

Subject: Isolating Manifold Question
Just a quickie. I'm just about to buy my first twinset with a
manifold. I've dived twins before, independents because of fiscal reasons
(I'm a poor student!) What I need to know is this. Some of the people I have
talked to who dive manis only open their iso knob about 1/2 a turn, whilst
others open it all the way. Thinking about it I can see advantages and
disadvantages to both:
All the way
Adv: No risk of turning wrong way
Disadv: May get stuck if turned on all way
Have to turn it 3 turns (or whatever)
Part way
Adv: V fast way of isolating
Disadv: Can turn it the wrong way
Not having it open all the way may limit
equalisation across the manifold.
Now any or all of this may be unmitigated rubbish, but it's just
what I was thinking about last night.
Any comments/suggestions as to how best to do it?
As this is my first post, go easy on me - I'm still learning!
Many thanks,
Chris
