<font color='#000080'>All the talk of inverted twins has got me thinking (Not neccessarily a good thing &nbsp; )

It seems to me that inverted twins have many benefits including quick shutdowns and it also appears to me that they would be less of an entanglement hazard with all the first stages and valves situated at the bottom also I would have thought that the risk of bashing the valves and 1st stages would be less likely especially in cave diving.

Also dare I suggest that valve guards would be less of an entanglement hazard on inverted twins than inverted twins without guards. &nbsp;(Probably does make shutdowns a bit more tricky though).

So my question is why do DIR prefer to keep the twins non inverted.

Much easier to make an informed decision with all the reasons.
