Edward, is it nessesary to play your childish games. Do you actually think your the only one's to dive in current. You britts are a tough bread even though you require a quick release to facilitate your de-kitting. I would have to guess that if you need a quick release to escape from your gear you probably can't even reach your manifold knobs. Scarry. P.S. American's aren't stupid enough to dive from a RIB.
