Are they gearing this setup towards bulk sales to resorts? Is that the end goal...i.e. to provide gear to resorts on an annual contract basis including service and regular upgrades?

When I think of carbon fiber wrapped pressure vessels...

What I don't understand is why the need to solve the "problem" of neutral buoyancy. It seems like the selling point of the avelo system is to move up and down the water column with no need to add or remove air to a bcd thus making it a thoughtless process. However, ascending and descending...

Why does the avelo system need to be incorporated within the main cylinder? Why not a separate, uncompressible volume, say a second cylinder with a bladder or piston system connected to a low pressure inflator hose as well as a battery powered water pump?

Yes. Perils of skimming mass quantities of email.

If you're going to be there memorial day, according to an email I got from them, splashdown divers is doing an avelo demo.

Cool.

Don't leave your gear unsecured, blocking other diver's access, or in the way of mooring lines and cleats and other boat equipment and 99.999% of the time no one is gonna touch your stuff.

Seems overly complicated to integrate it into the same cylinder. Why not have a separate, non-compressible canister of finite volume where you can add or remove water ballast via a pump and/or low pressure inflator hose? Maybe add a piston on a spring to compress it to prevent sloshing.

It's called Dive Talk not Dive Instruction. Why is everyone looking to them like fallen angels? They enjoy analyzing and critiquing other divers videos. I'm sure they would not mind others critiquing theirs, sans the ugly vitriol on display here.

I think a large factor in the decision making process was who exactly the DAN person talking was on the other end of the call. If the guys believed the person was just an administrative pencil pusher, they might have become frustrated trying to convey what they believe required urgent action...

Maybe we have (or had) this overly optimistic belief that DAN is like an elite delta force team ready to spring into action to evacuate the injured or sick at the drop of a hat. The reality and the shear logistics of doing that outside the US is just not feasible at that level.

Screenshot of DANs home page... Kinda gives you the impression that you are going to get immediately whisked away for medical treatment in an emergency, doesn't it? It's the reason I've had Dan over the years. Not because I needed health insurance. Maybe it's fair to say they will reimburse...

Yes. DAN

Just watched it. DAN comes across like the fyre festival of dive insurance.

nevermind

See how many breaths it takes to blow it up fully on land. Then do the math for 15 feet to find out if you can do it on one long breath. Then go online to buy a smaller smb cause you now know your 6ft monster woukd need it's own Al80 cylinder to fully inflate.
