Question Dive Rite wing pull dump

[youllfloattoo]

You want it to need a good long firm pull to prevent inadvertent actuation.

Getting in the habit of dumping from the inflator or the kidney OPV is probably better as those techniques apply across most wings. Shoulder pull dumps are a minority configuration.

Pulling on my inflation assembly at depth to manage buoyancy sounds really sub-optimal. I like being in trim and that pools my air away from my shoulders. My left kidney OPV gives me more precise control without having to disturb my trim. I’m a proponent of plain elbows.

That is great and you are probably right. What I am asking is a design question. Why does Dive Rite take 3 inch's but say an Scubapro is barely a quarter inch. What is so special about their design?

Becuase you don’t want it accidentally dumping every time you touch the inflator.

Though I would think that would be the tension spring not the length of the cable. That is what I am asking why 3 inches when other brands are barely are a quarter inch. Dive rite said there was some limitation. trying to understand that limitation.

scuba pro uses a different hose. If you are operating the dive rite as intended, just use it. If you want to mess with it, cut the cable shorter, buy some good crimps and make a new loop at the end. `
