Attachment to the right handle, knot that allows for tow cord length adjustments.

Diver position Fig. 11 illustrates a driver in technical configuration with the HDV correctly
positioned. Other positions are admitted but considerably reduce drive efficiency. Tow cord
length is extremely important for good towing efficiency. The right arm should remain
slightly bent, drive the vehicle by pointing it in the direction to be followed but never hold
the HDV which exerts all drive force on the tow cord.
If you prefer not to use the tow cord, both handles must be used. This type of use does not
permit high speeds since resistance is higher with consequent arm fatigue.
The diver’s position
during the dive must be more or less horizontal (posture and
buoyancy always derive from correct equipment configuration and adequate training). This
ensures safety, longer running times, speed and riding comfort.
Be especially careful when setting out your equipment especially as regards: hoses,
regulators, pony bottles, pressure gauges, audible alarms, flashlights and pertinent cables,
