If you breathe down both regs and its still blowing you know its the manifold. Or have I mis-understood the drill?

Hell of a post though, you not busy at work
He's right.

Good post Garf - sad but very good

Think about it - isolating saves no gas at all. If you left post is bubbling it carries on - ditto with the right. Closing the isolator wastes time.

We don't *need* to save gas remember - we always have enough within the team to get out. But we would rather like to identify the problem and deal with it if possible so, whilst closing the post we think has a problem, we signal the team to come in and help out. Who can see best after all?

Just a different approach to diving really.
