Hi Mark, You say << Two ways to know the left post has rolled shut: If you look at your spg over a span of time and it doesn't move, you can assume you have rolled the valve shut. >> I agree with this statement. Then you say << Also, either your drysuit inflator or your wing inflator is going to be connected to the left regulator. If the valve is shut, that inflator obviously won't work. >> Could you please tell me a little more about this aspect of the DIR configuration when diving in a wetsuit. Take care and dive safe, Scott Some weeks it's just not worth the effort to gnaw through the restraints and scramble up out of the pit.

If the valve is shut, that inflator obviously won't work. ----- Original Message ----- From: <ricky@th*.ca*> To: <techdiver@aquanaut.com> Sent: Monday, August 13, 2001 3:18 PM Subject: reg config and spg > Hey folks!

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... >> -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
