     The innertube rubber is to protect the bladder. It is open and does
     not resrict it. The fitting on the second is an elbow, not a swivel -
     no moving parts. The firsts are Poseiden , the seconds are Beuchat
     VX10's , sometimes Scuba Pro G-250, but the backup needs to be non-
     finnicky, like the VX10.

      Seems that way - an aquired taste.

       Usually don't care, as you can see in the vid - that one rise was
       nearly 100 feet, but if it is deco, then we turn around into the 
       flow and scooter, just like wreck diving. NO, the demo did not 
       hurt - an advantage of brass. - G
