I must admit then once I am on my stage I leave my rpimary reg loose around my neck. I only hangs down by about a foot, if that, and is right there, ready to donate if I need to. I only use the clip on it to tidy up out of the water. |
Hi Lou (and subsequently Digger)
The only reason I ask is that when I got my 10s out for the second dive on the Nab on Friday, I found that when the cylinders were tested they had reset the isolator in such a position that I couldn't connect my CD slobknob, so I had to close the isolator and dive the set as indies. The left post was no problem as it was necklaced, but when I took my primary reg out I had to either drop it, or hold onto it - neither ideal!
Cheers
Darren
