Hey folks!  While surfing today I came across this wealth of knowledge and, of
course, signed up immediately.

I'm hoping to gather some opinion on a confusion I have with the DIR reg and
spg configuration (please be kind... DIR configuration is new to me - I
currently bungy the 7' hose and breathe off the short hose - but I am looking
at alternatives (always!)):

DIR tells us to wrap the 7' hose from the right post around our bodies and to
breathe off of that 2nd.  DIR tells us to use the reg from the left post (on
the short hose) as our alternate.  Finally, DIR tells us to put the spg on the
left post (I think).

If the above DIR configuration is correct - is it not possible to have a
situation where you're diving in an overhead environment and the left post gets
rolled off? In this event, since there is no depressurization of the reg on the
left post the spg would continue to read a misleadingly high pressure.  This
strikes me as a "bad thing".  

Thoughts,
  Rick...
