I sling an AL 40 on the left. It simply floats under my arm and doesn't get in the way at all.

If you are diving wet or dry. LP tanks are generally much more negatively bouyant than HPs.

A lot of recreational divers use inline octos. It pays to familiarize yourself with your buddy's equipment, particularly insta-buddy, dive boat pick-ups. Do you know for sure that your buddy's octo even works? He's carrying your spare air.

That's a primary tenant of the DIR/HOG philosophy: you and your team have the same gear configuration. You know exactly what to do in an air share situation and where to find your secondary. It is bungeed under your chin. Very simple and elegant solution. If you are using different gear, you...

It's a lifestyle because it profoundly changes your life.

Making a slow ascent in a really fast current with no visual reference is kind of freaky and neat at the same time. Screamin' along 75 feet above the reef. It's almost like flying.

Diving doubles I suppose. The weight is very difficult for me to handle.

Worm drive sounds like it should be used in spacecraft propulsion. ;)
