so, seeing as quite a few people on here dive independent twins, i'm hoping for a bit of advice....
what do you do with the DV you're not breathing from, assuming it has to be accessible (for you and others) and re-stowable? any hints welcome.
i was thinking of getting hold of some bungee and cable ties, and making a necklace from which i could suspend both DVs in loops.
obviously the disadvantage of this is that if someone grabs one it would pull on the one in my mouth. also maybe the weight of the one i wasn't using would drag at the one i was using. i was thinking of getting round this by separating the two DVs by a long section of bungee, so the tension would be on the back of my neck (when hanging or being grabbed) rather than the other valve. maybe i could even attach to the back of my hood somehow? i'd make the loops fairly loose so they could slip out and be re-stowed easily.
any comments? bad idea/good idea?
cheers, k
