I also found his statistics to be a bit outragous. Here in norway i
have only heard this from "tech-divers" from Oslo.......Among the

  Adrian,

  Not likely, the only reason to do it like you suggest is inexperience =
or lack of understanding. Follow the tread and Im shure you understand =
why you are wrong and how you would benefit from doing it right.It would =
be a shame if 3/4 of our european guys would be that ignorant and I find =
it pretty hard to belive, dont make up statistic figures on your own to =
prove your point, it will not work.

            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=20
                           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
