Can some one PM me the email address of whoever we are staying with in Cabilao?

I just want to check whether they are going to be OK with my double hose rig or whether I need to look at alternatives.

Guess I'll have to ask the same question if we go with the Balicasig option for the Saturday, any idea where we'll dive there? Anyone?

Ask for me too please larry. I just picked up a 3-way adapter so I can attach an octo and inflator hose to my hookah port If needed. You bringing the heathway?

Nice one - I'll drop an email. I plan to bring either the RAM or the re-built Voit 50 fathom, both are in superb working condition, but the RAM's scatched to bits and will probably become my regular reg. The Voit's been completely reconditioned, so is basically new.

I have an early-50's Medi, but it's a DIN connector that cannot accept any add-ons. Pity, because it breathes beautifully without ever having been re-conditioned. Don't ask me how; the hoses are still held in place by tightly wrapped waxed string - not even clips!

Land tour - let's just see how we feel.

play by ear sounds good. If you bring the RAM, want me to grab a 3-way adapter for you? It's cheap.

Actually, yes. How does it work?

To date, I've only ever used the banjo fitting for the SPG and not bothered with the rest. If what I hear from Nemrod et al is correct, the RAM will happily go 50m+ if required, and if I were to do that, I'd like a bit more back-up.

Got a snap of it, or a link?

DOn't expect an instant response via email - just FYI - the only net connection is about a 45 minute walk, and only available at certain times (as it is actually the school internet connection).

I just took pics. The upload is going slow.

First, with the hookah port, you need to remove the plug and replace it with an adaptor that will allow the connection of 3/8" LP hoses. Then the 3-way adaptor allows the connection of 3 different LP hoses. It's a nice setup - the inflator hose and octo connects at a right angle to the hookah port so the 3-way adaptor actually directs the hoses to where they're supposed to go. It's only about 5.5cm tall.
