I am trying to decide on a vest type BCD to buy. I am interested in your thoughts on the special inflate/deflate valve on the Axiom i3
'The i3 Inflator Mechanism has a Single-Touch Control for both Inflation and Deflation. Lift-Up-to-Inflate, Push-Down-to-Deflate, what could be more simple? BC provides a Low-Profile with Flat E-Valves that are very Streamlined-and-Effective. They are also "One-Way" which keeps water out. The Multiple Dump features mean that when you depress the i3 Lever, all of the Flat E-Valves Open at once! No more reaching for the wrong valve. Flat E-Valves can be opened by the i3 Control Handle or Opened Manually. If your one who always wants to conserve your Air Supply the Pull-Down Oral Inflator is Easy-to-Deploy and Stow. It can easily be removed should you need an access port for rinsing the inside of the air cell or should you want to attach an AIRSOURCE.'
Because of a back problem I have trouble staying upright when on the surface so a vest works best for me. I love a wing in the water but I struggle with them on the surface. A vest is much better for me.
Thanks for your advice.
