Adrian, the UL is the biggest piece of crap 1st stage ever made. The problem is ever sinse Johnson Wax bought out Scuba Pro they have made nothung but abortions out of all their equipment. The UL was a lamb attempt to compete with Atomics titanium 1st stage. The problem is, aluminum is toooooo soft and oxidizer rapidly. Besides, why do we need a ultra light 1st stage. We need weight to submerge. Displace the weight. Heavy 1st stage is a good thing. The titanium is cool because is doesn't oxidize but beyond that, who needs it to be light.
