I see. So if you're reg get yanked off causing a total failure you just swim back to the line where you have more tanks waiting? I hope you're close...or can swim really fast.
Down deep...things to remember

Dan - your argument just doesn't hold air.
It is better to learn or teach proficiency of air management skills, equipment care, buddy skills and team awareness than to leave a sugar coated pill hanging on a downline that someone is unlikely to get to when Murphy dives with you.

Hey folks, relax... I really think Dan is just having fun here... joking around.
I can see a beginner saying some of the things he has (like 3 man teams being wrong... go read your OW manual) but he has indicated that he is an experienced diver.

Better there then in your drysuit, man, the other day I had a fart work it's way up and out my neck seal, oh man...OE2X:Been a while on the manual, but on a recent SI I ate Chili and I was off gassing something besides air!
They're sugar coated!!! :11ztongue I thought that was salt... maybe I should rethink my stance on hang tanks.OE2X:

Sorry about the bad edit - we do not hang tank off a drifting zodiac.
It bothers me (I'm a DM and started diving in 1982) that three-man teams are the norm for many DESPITE all the evidence that IF something really bad goes down... well, I mean, what's the point of having a buddy... And yes, I'm half joking with some of my comments, irony and satire just don't work well on some message boards - I'll work n it.

Fine. I'll shut up about the three-man teams. Now, I'll talk about how great the diving is off the Texas coast... bet I get a lot of laughs.

Not as compared to anywhere else.
Hey, it's what we have... rig diving is pretty good because of the fish life they attract.
I've heard that it is... but rather than hijack this thread with an off-topic post about Texas diving perhaps it would be best to start a new thread in the Swampdivers Forum.
