Dumping Air Under Water

Yes, the jacket BC required a PhD to use it.

How's your trim in a jacket BCD compared with a BP + wing?

Just fine.

Don't tell me that you are one of these divers that use equipment as a crutch to compensate for lack of skills, are you?

Is that emojii a catheter?

I don't understand this. Why are you doing all this?

When I used to put the entire hose in the bungee loop, I only had to raise it. That's why the loop is made of bungee.

Now for me only the small inflator portion goes through the bungee loop, and raising it is a piece of cake.

You must be diving with a ton of air in your wing, or you swim in the vertical position.

I cannot vent from my inflator hose when it's stored in the bungee, and in no way can the bungee stretch far enough to get my inflator hose high enough to vent when I'm horizontal.

Even if I didn't store my inflator hose, I can still vent much faster and easier from the rear valve.

Just roll slightly to your right while remaining horizontal. This brings the inflator up a good 6-12" in the water column. Raise the inflator slightly. That makes all the difference for me.

Ha! So funny. I do not ruin my roll trim just so I can use my inflator hose. Especially given that I can keep my trim by using the rear dump valve.

I think this can be put in the solved colum;
use which Eve dump works best for YOU!

LOL. Whatever works for you. I believe I read you’re a pilot or used to be. That makes perfect sense. For me, I’m diving not flying a plane.

Read my post earlier. I’m unable to use my rear dump due to an injury to my left shoulder. There are other options for folks to consider. Just another perspective.

It is supposed to be crutches I think.

This reminds me of a guy here on SB who used to go with the handle "Dumpster." Crazy guy with hot temper but was a nice guy deep down, very deep. He was unjustly and unfortunately perma banned from SB. I hope that he is doing well and is in good health.
