Why do we hate the Air2?

[MXGratefulDiver]

For those of you who are sad to see this thread die, don't despair. As is true of almost all ScubaBoard threads of this ilk, before long someone will come across it, read the first couple of posts, and then write a response, the substance of which has already been talked to death. The thread will be revived and will soon be going strong again.

... or more likely, someone with an axe to grind will create a new thread and we can have the exact same conversation all over again ...

I see Wormil is browsing this thread. Perhaps he will bestow on us some of his wisdom on the subject matter......which was what by the way?

What's the deal with deep air?

I don't hate BCD mounted alternate regs. I switched back to a conventional inflator hose and "octo" alternate because all the buttons on my Air3 were just too confusing to use.

I've never had to use an BCD mount in air sharing, or for that matter a conventional octo. I did use a "long hose" from someone else. That's what I plan to use in the future, but I'm hesitant to go in that direction without
getting training.

THREE buttons: power inflate (small & round), manual inflate/deflate (large & rectangular), and the regulator purge button. How was that confusing? How do you work a camera?

New here, and only my second post. My first was over at the NASDS check in.

Anyway... I just read this entire thread. Executive summary: seems lots of people like the Air2 concept, most others are generally neutral, and everyone agrees you should practice with whatever gear you have to help ensure safety in an emergency. Good stuff.

After all the reading I decided to purchase a Zeagle Octo-Z. Why? Cause I like it.

Now, as to the DIR stuff, are these the same folks who have taken all the color out of this sport and replaced it with black everything because it looks tech?
