Hello; My name is Prem Mansukhani. This is my first posting to the group, so I apologize for any breaches of etiquette common to this group. I am a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and am active with the Hoofers diving club, and friends with Mike Black, Matt "skippy" Bauer, and Matt Schultz. I have been diving for four years with dives totaling between 150 and 200. Most of my dives have been Midwest inland lake, and Great lake dives. I also dive master for the club's introductory classes. Needless to say, I consider myself to be a complete newbie when it comes to technical diving. My major interest is ship wreck diving. To date I have made about 20 non penetration dives on wrecks like the willie off milwaukee, the frank off door county, and the smith moore off munising. Now with the introduction out of the way, on to my question. I recently purchased an AGA Interspiro FFM. I like it, but I am somewhat concerned using it at depth because if I would ever have to use my pony, I would have to doff the mask. I therefore was thinking about putting some kind of quick connect between the mask and the first stage, so I could change to my pony without taking off my mask. I have found some medical quick connects meant for use with oxygen/medical air regulators (between the first and second stage) and think they would work, but I don't know there full working envelope. Has anyone tried this before? Would the standard low pressure quick connect work, (I don't think so but as I said I am a newbie)? Is this just a bad Idea? Any suggestions would be appreciated. prem -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'. Send subscribe/unsubscribe requests to `techdiver-request@aquanaut.com'.
