This system is working well. I'm able to reach the isolation valve or the first stage valves with not to much dificuly. However, I'm only using a 3mm wet suit and it might be a different story with a dry-suit on. My only complaint regarding the manifold from OMS is no extra O-rings were supplied at all, and of course they are non standard. (Getting parts in Barbados is a pain, the duties will kill you.) All in all I'm still very happy with the purchase and would make the same choice if I had it to do all over again. Regards Bob Chambers Barbados West Indies.
