Mike, here we go aagain - batman an gilliam are your heroes.

The fact is that the 400 reg has a flapper type diaphram that makes it
beathe wet in side and upsidedown positions, and the reg can not be
taken apart to free the mushrooms underwater. Both of these things make
it a suboptimal reg. You are right Bowdin is a stroke, and Exley is
dead. Are you done yet?
