JeffG:You forgot to add in the part about the religious zealots.
I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I was just stating that your comment was missing the tradition poke at the unnamed group of divers. Just having a bit of fun with ya.Tamas:Listen, I am still waiting for you to provide proof of the issues you claim to be as opposed to playing the hurt little schoolgirl when you are confronted with the lack of proof and your believes based on a fictional theory - aren't you a bit too old for children's stories anyways? Shouldn't you grow up and start thinking for yourself?

It shouldn't. Otherwise life would be way to dull.Tamas:I can poke at that as much as they can poke at us! Why should it be any different?!
I think most do. (Some of the newly DIR-f'd or want to be DIR-f'd can be a problem, but its not like I can control them). This is getting waaaay off topic.Tamas:One thing is for sure, I have accepted their way of doing things, now its your turn to realize there is another world out there as well.

But we are just talking about a bladder that holds air and displaces water. This is not rocket science, I could jump in the water with any wing and be able to dive it.
There are probably others, but we can save them for later debatesTamas:Finally we are agreeing on something, well at least 2 subjects!
I just don't like buying something and then mod'ng it. (Adding a innertube to the diverite wing to protect the bladder also comes to mind)Tamas:BTW - I shortened my OMS inflator to a stubby, this way I just lift and it releases air without having to tuck and roll - I hated that super long garden hose on there.

Yep...I'm a rebelTamas:BTW - inops plaga? helpless stroke?
I think the issue is more on the rubbing between the zipper and the bladder during normal use, not the opening and closing of the zipper. A less extreme version of the Drysuit vs Crotch-strap battle.Tamas:One thing I never understood, how often do you have to open the zipper that the bladder gets ripped? I open mine once in a while to inspect, then carefully close it back up - never had any issues with as of yet.
