You know, if this was some two bit company or inventor with a bright idea who rented a table a BTS with dreams of getting rich it would be one thing, but the fact that it's a major dive gear manufacturer, and that they damn thing must have gone through many levels of testing an scrutiny from both design staff and management before actually making it into production, and none one noticed what a convoluted, unecessary POS it was, is a genuinely scary comment on the state of the dive industry (as if we need another!). Especially considering you just don't need it - Scubapro has had a darn near perfect buckle for years now, and, while SP has a patent on it, the principles just aren't that unique or exotic that that everyone else couldn't have something just as good, if they'd just make the effort and spend the extra dollar or two over those damn plastic camloks. Come to think of it, Halcyon is supposed to have a new SS cam buckle - anyone tried one? -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
