Subject: Re: independent doubles

     Seems to me that you don't have to be able to reach the valves on 
     independents.  If you blow a hose or a disc, you'll obviously just use 
     the good tank.  In the event of any malfunction, you'd abort the dive 
     anyway.

  Yesterday I started looking at ways to do it.  The problem is that 
the valves are both on the right side (facing the tanks).  There seems 
to be
two choices:
     
- Buy a left side valve (don't know if this exists for 300 bar DIN). 
- Rotate 1 tank 180 degrees and mount the first stage backwards.
     
Either method would let me reach both valves in an emergency.  What's 
prefered?  Is there another solution I'm missing?
