The isolator needs to be left open all the time. Several people have wasted
their time explaining why while you put out this barrage of stupidity and
argumentative bullshit. These people actually dive. I know them, I know how
much they dive and how long they have been doing it and I know why they know
what they are talking about.

I also know why you do not - you do not do it. If you have nothing to say,
and so far you have had nothing to say but crap, shut the fuck up.

While some desperate stroke may cling to the empty logic of you lack of
knowledge and experience, anyone with any level of common sense and
certainly anyone who has any experience or can see the true risks in this
sport will be better convinced of how stupid it is to do some of these
things once they see how shallow the reasoning is that supports that
thinking.

Nothing ever changes on here.

  If you were to tell me that you weren't smart enough to make sure your
isolator was open prior to mixing, then I WOULD tell you, "You are not smart
enough."  I am willing to bet you would not tell me that.  So I am willing
to bet you are smart enough.  I am not sure what IANTD has to do with THIS
conversation.

  Dave, are you telling me I am not smart enough to gas dive? Give it a
rest, pal, you have no earthly clue. NONE. Take a seat. You don't get it and
neither does IANTD, obviously.  Making a mixing error or a valve setting
error is a death sentence for diver and or buddy, and is a function of doing
stupid things and following mindless practices like this that have no
purpose what so ever other than to satisfy some ridiculous paranoia.

  This stupidity has all downside and no upside.

    I would like to personally thank Phi Lee for being so smart as to catch
    the "subtle" difference between 2 half turns and 1 full turn.  I realize
that
    I as a mere mortal can not turn a valve behind my head a complete
revolution
    without dislocating my wrist.  Apparently he can.  Thank you for posting
    yet another useful message in the never ending "concentrate on the
    minutia instead of the content post" mentality.

    Also, not related to Phi's post,  It seems to me that the how one would
want
    a manifold isolator positioned for mixing gas is COMPLETELY separate
from the
    discussion of how you would want to position it for diving.  If you are
not
    intelligent to be able to position an isolator for mixing gas, you
probably shouldn't
    be mixing in the first place!

    Adrian,

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

        Well, i've been diving with the ISO two half turns , since having a
twin set!, and proberley 3/4 OF Europe dive's The BullShit Paranoia Way, I'm
Sorry that i've No Idea about Diving OH DEMI GOD OF THE UNDERWATER WORLD

          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.

            I have the ISO two half turn's on, and I think the key is to ,
Know your kit inside out, I've sat in the dark , in full kit for over 30
hours ,every new bit of kit , i go through the same process, and Do know my
current config  Insideout , the wife finds this highly amusing if/when she
walks in . same goe's for inwater training dives .

              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
