What I always found disturbing was the praise it got on rec.scuba - "What a wonderful course, I never realised that good buoyancy control was useful" and "From now on, I will always keep my buddy in sight on a dive" were not uncommon.
If they really are so badly trained over there, it's no wonder GI recommends never diving without a fellow DIRer..
Anyway, back on topic... I switched to twin 7s last year, basically because I wanted to replaced my BSAC-standard Buddy Commando + pony with a Hog rig.. much to the bafflement of my fellow club members (Two meter hose? Why would anybody want a 2m hose??)
Now I'm just waiting for the long-promised clean air whip to be put onto the club compressor before I go over to Nitrox..
