I swapped my inflator round and tried it out on the weekend, works great.
I like the idea of still being able to use the hand while dumping air (hold
a line or whatever).  Was handy on Saturday when I had to assist a nervous
diver on descent.  Also worth mentioning I can feel when air is escaping
from the dump valve which may be a useful thing.  Thanks for the advice.

Cheers,

Simon
