I have asked and will continue to ask " what is the mindset behind this device?" If your intent is to blow and go you dont need this thing weighting you down. If your diving in a buddy team, you dont need this thing. If you want a truly redundant source of gas you need a whole additional first and second along with an isolated or isolatable( sp?) gas supply. NO valve doesnt cut it. Bizzarro integrated first stage doesnt cut it. Second integrated into bc doesnt cut it. Fugazi hose cluster doesnt cut it. If you want a redundant source of gas, THEN GET ONE. If you can't monitor your gas supply then learn how. This is not the answer. Furthermore , the recreational v. technical distinction is pointless. Dont get wrapped up in labels designed to sell you crap. The ocean is all the same. The physiological aspects of diving are the same. The "technical" moniker is a madison ave term. Dont allow the marketing jackals to sell you crap gear or crap thinking. We all have bought that in the past. Its time to move foward. All divers, not just rec or tek, we all need to demand quality equipment and training, not junk.
