Bollocks! _Now_ you have done it!

The reason people do not aswer questions like this is that it is _so_ easy 
for you to find the answer other places (the techdiver archives, other 
places on the net).

OK, pay attention (Halcyon is better because):
- The wing is reinforced. The inner bladder of the Halcyon is as stong as 
the outer bladder on some other BCs. The outer bladder is VERY heavy
- The ridiculous pull dump has been removed
- The LP hose has the correct length
- The zipper is longer for easier inspection of the inner bladder
- No plastic ball on the bottom pull dump
- and so on...

Satisfied????

What the hell is this? I have 4 Apekses and one ScubaPro. Sheep? I had 
Apekses _before_ I joined this list!

20'' is the correct length. Why? Loger hoses will flap in the current.

If you keep going on like this you will be a very rich man! :)
