My burst disks in my LP tanks are 5250's IIRC. With that said, burst disks still corrode and fail. At any rate... nothing has really been said to make me change my current line of thought.
 
Why??? Can't you multi task? Or did (The rest is all secondary) confuse you??
It's like writing a book while whacking off...you can't do it, your hands are full.
 
Right.. So I'm looking to broaden my diving ability/knowledge and start diving doubles and get into more the technical side of diving.

So trouble is.. I've dived with people on twinsets.. I know theres a Manifold, and two second stages.. but thats about all I know..

It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help explain to me.. how it works...?

Isolate, Dive over, Go home seems to be a "solo-think" or self-centric behavior. FWIW, I isolate first also. My hose routing is still going through some changes and most of the changes stem from me gradually losing my initial self-centric (but good buddy) mindset concerning my own rigging.


I've had my main secondary on the LEFT post for a while, due to hose routing issues. Worked fine. Have come to believe that this is sub-optimal as it opens me up to a helpful soul (unseen from above) shutting off the wrong post first, each and every time. So in the spirit of helping James, let's continue:

Main secondary reg on right post, where do the wing and suit belong? (and why)

I believe wing is on left post and suit is on argon ;)

I keep my wing opposite my main secondary regulator also. Seems too exciting to shut both down at the same time.

It would be hard to shear that puppy off...:shocked2:

FULL? Really? C'mon, I think you are embellishing a bit aren't you?
