Anyone know a good way to get that little bit of water out of the SMB?? I took off the OPV, turned it upside-down and rolled the water back and fourth. It seems to work, but only gets a couple drops out at a time. There has got to be an easy way. Thanks.
 
Im not familar with your SMB but try this. Fill the smb with air and keep filling until it starts coming out of the opv. Then position it so that the water is over the opv. Keep adding air and the air might force the water out of the opv.
 
The only way I managed to do it is to fill it with air and then let it air dry/evaporate over a few days time......better yet, just keep diving it and then the water inside won't be an issue :D
 
Got it... Put a couple breathes of air through the OPV opening and then returned the OPV cap. Rolled it up until the air bubble has trapped the water near the OPV. Pulled the dump chord until all of the water was released. Took a couple tries to get it all out, but worked. Thanks for the suggestions.
