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:
=20
All the way
Adv: No risk of turning wrong way
=20
Disadv: May get stuck if turned on all way
Have to turn it 3 turns (or whatever)
=20
Part way
Adv: V fast way of isolating
=20
Disadv: Can turn it the wrong way=20
Not having it open all the way may limit =
equalisation across the manifold.
=20
Now any or all of this may be unmitigated rubbish, but it's =
just what I was thinking about last night.
=20
Any comments/suggestions as to how best to do it?
=20
As this is my first post, go easy on me - I'm still learning!
=20
Many thanks,

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh =
