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:
    =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!

    Many thanks,

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