Al, Thanks for the reply >> You need to provide more info than this. The big complaint about wings is >> they can float you face down, which isn't really true if you weight correctly. I >> haven't experienced any problem with diverite,zeagle or halycon wings, deflating >> with the inflator, or the pull dump. perhaps you could describe the problem a >> little, also have you considered maintenance issues, or was this a brand new wing? This was a brand new wing, I had dived it for about 10 dives before buddy used it, and I had no particular problems, although, sometimes when the bladder was almost empty of air, I felt it took a long time for the air to migrate to the dump, and involved a little gymnastics. Buddy was made aware of this, and, since I have noticed the same quirk in the DR jnr wing I regularly use, I thought no more of it. >> Has she dove this rig before?? This was approx the 10th dive using that wing. >> What was the profile? the conditions? the location? Sorry, don't understand the relevance of those 3 points. >> Do the wings have the elbow or the vent on the hose? The original pull-dump elbow. >> Was she diving air and if so , how deep?? Yes, and the incident occurred after a 20 minute section at 15 metres. Was the "deflate" button pressed???
