"I have another question for you though Steve... is your AIR2 mounted on a pull to dump valve on the shoulder via the LPIH?"
Yes, why do you ask? Let me guess, you don't like those either. Before you answer I'll let you know that I don't yank on the thing at extreme depth to make sure I don't pull it out of the wing.
"With a proper LPIH assemply, one finger is all it
takes to activate the fill and vent functions.
When you finally get around doing the drill at
depth you will see that the bouyancy swing is not
as great as what happens in a 10' deep pool"
We are beating this thing to death but I'll try to rephrase my point. DIR and even George practice this breathing the power inflator because both primary and backup could fail. My point is, the solution to resolve both reg's failing is poor and not at all doing it right. If the airII gas shortcomings design and utilize a small suitable regulator that is easy to use.
