Hi all -
Went diving yesterday and used the DSS valve flusher to clean the inflator. I couldn't figure out a way to flush fresh water through the OPV with water that's inside the wing - is this even possible/recommended? I rinsed the OPV from the outside but when I raise the OPV and pull, I can hear air exiting but obviously all the water travels down towards the hose.
Also, these were the first dives with the BP weight plates and they were awesome!! Just getting 8lb off the weight belt was a huge advantage (especially for my wife-buddy, who usually needs 17-19lb lead) and maintaining horizontal trim was a lot easier as well. My skill is the limiting factor right now in maintaining good trim but the difference was immediately noticeable even for me.
Thanks in advance,
