hello, i have some twinset-related questions (and i expect there will be more!)
i'm in the process of buying twin sevens, which i will dive independently (for now)
i've got an apeks reg for my right cylinder, all well and good.
i've also got a scubapro reg which i want to put on my left cylinder, coming over my left shoulder.
the reg is a Mk25 R380, and when i was working for a dive shop in sydney i helped service that type of reg. during that time i was shown how to swap the hose to the other side of the second stage, so it could be used coming over the left shoulder.
thing is, i don't remember quite how to do it! i think there were a few things that weren't very intuitive, so i don't want to just charge in and try to remember it as i go along.... so, my questions are:
1) can anyone tell me, or direct me to the correct procedure?
2) do i have to use the special 'scubapro servicing tools' that i was using before, or can i use normal tools without messing it up?
in answer to the obvious question, i have emailed the dive centre in sydney, but they're being a bit slow getting back to me!
also, feel free to throw in any suggestions/opinions/hints on twinsetting, manifolding, long-hosing and all the other stuff that people love talking about.... should make it interesting anyway
thanks!
