Oh, and apropos of nothing, one can vent the BC while breathing through the inline octo. You don't need another dump valve. I already tried mine out and it works just fine while you're breathing through the inline octo.

BTW, I don't have Scubapro Air 2 but two of my wings are fitted with the Dive Rite RiteSource which looks suspiciously like the Air 2. I don't know if they're identical or not, but they look the same. Work just fine too, but breathing is definitely not as easy as the SS1. I think that the SS1 doesn't inflate as quickly or dump air as quickly as the Rite Source, which is not a bad thing in my book. I feel that the SS1 gives me more control of how much air I am putting in and letting out of my wing.
