In rescue situation from bottom up, I wouldn't use the pull dump (I use it in other situations however) since the pull dump is difficult to control how much air it lets out. I'd use the deflate button for more precise control. I normally only use the deflate button much more than the pull dump valves because I want precise control of how much air I let out.

Zero issue. I float on my back like a fat seal on surface. Piece of cake

It’s not a thread hijack. As the OP, I switched the subject after getting great advice on flotation position. Thanks for the great thoughts on using the pull dump. I’m going to stick with the conventional dump method, but keep the pull dump in mind as a backup system.That's what SB is all about

yeah some valid points
I just shortened, my corrugated hose on a wing and made a new pull wire, from some old nylon shark
leader scored twenty years ago from a junk market on a spool of 100 metres using two bronze crimps
But because the cheap manufacturers, did not add a pull dump I grabbed one from my DGX stockpile
not only because the shoulder dump is the safest quickest easiest to employ without lifting your hose
finding pushing the correct button, to dump in an emergency, for new divers hey uncontrolled ascent
but because the inflator's where my hand is, and I'm good at pulling and never learnt to do the lifting
Reliant on, Perspective
or none
