Being new to tech diving and looking at different gear configurations I =
have developed a question? If I go to doubles for deeper and longer =
dives but do not use a manifold (cost) what are the major drawbacks? I =
would assume the major draw back would be if the right tank and the left =
reg went bad at the same time?  not being to isoloate one tank off and =
using a different reg? Would I assume this would be an acceptible risk =
while diving with a buddy. Or are their other reasons that I am just not =
seeing at the moment.
