Ok. So I guess I don't have to worry about hitting my head on it, since my wife routinely tells me that my head is buried somewhere up my a$$. And as long as I keep my nuts firm - but not tight I have less of a chance of dying... I'm taking that in the end, until I get into it a little deeper (overheads and scooters) there's not a definative DIR, GUE, or otherwise asnwer to this one. So I'm going to go with... hmmmm I still don't know...
Rjack. I used to tighten my isolator as well because the spinning bothered me. Get used to it and loosen that thing. It doesn't have to be easy to spin, just capable of it.
Gee Brian, I totally agree with you. So you might want to rethink your position as lord knows you like to disagree with me on general principle.
That happens when the bands are loose regardless of whether the isolator valve is loose or not.This has nothing to do with isolator knob positioning, but this unfortunate result happened to us a couple of weeks ago upon the start of the dive. There were no leaks when it happened, and we didn't even notice the result until after the dive, subsequent fill, and storage of the tanks. A new crossbar was installed yesterday.
You can see where the tank on the left has slid up relative to the band and to the tank on the right.
Yep, there was a left-tank impact that nudged it up the bands. I have my theories as to why the bands didn't hold, but I'm holding my tongue to protect the innocent
