Dave- I can't believe that you are recommending a high volume inflator for tech diving. I know that you have thousands of dives more than me, but my God, it seem pretty obvious that a fast inflator is a dangerous thing to have when you have a deco obligation... Changes can be greater in a short period of time? This is supposed to be good? I don't know if you've heard, but your speed of ascent is a huge factor in bubble formation, the last thing you need to do is change your buoyancy rapidly, especially at depth. I don't know, maybe I'm an idiot and you can straighten me out, but I don't think that promoting high-speed inflators on StuperWings is a good thing to do especially considering that the last 4 divers who have died in the last few months all had Stuperwings and inflation problems.
