That depends on your preference

texdiveguy:OPPS you pulled one on us,,,,silly you. I am not a DIR diver and never plan to be,,,,fall into the catagory of 'hybrid',,,a true 'rebel' able to think for myself when it comes to my gear configuration and make decissions right for me and the enviroment I intend to dive.

FishDiver:So if I am following this discussion accurately, there is no single element of equipment configuration that typifies the "Hog" style? Not BP/W, long hose, octo on necklace, etc.?
What is the Hog stance on solo diving? Can one be a "Hog Solo" Diver?
karstdvr:There is a "standard" Hogarthian set up and that was using SP MK20 or 10/G250 that was adopted in the early 90's,but generally it is more about the philosphy of streamlining and minimalism. This is why it is not so rigid on specific equipment manufacturers.
I know the "founder" solo dives,but does it with a lot of redundancy,but I also know the perfect Hogarthian team is 3 people for redundancy.
FishDiver:What about the long hose? That never seemed particularly minimalist to me, despite the DIR afficianados.
FishDiver:Are here any references that explain the full philosophy (not just equipment)?
