I was just told that two manifolds failed in G. Springs.  The story was
that they were from Diver's Supply in Florida.  Also they were different
that the ones Dive Rite sells.  I have it that the manifolds come from 
the same source in Switzerland.  They're called MVS for Modular Valve 
System,at least in Diver's Supply catalog.

I've seen people recommend that shop on this list and have heard from 
other Florida cavers.  Can you guys comment or did around and found out 
the story and relay it back.  I'm a little skeptical about this source 
as he's a Dive Rite shop who makes his money off selling Dive Rite.

Both manifolds are exactly the same! I own both, one from Dive Rite, and 
the other from Divers Supply.  These MVS manifolds are of excellent 
design.If someone drops their tanks, or runs into the cave ceiling at 
high speed on an DPV they could possibly do damage to the isolator 
valve. Any failure is most likely abuse.
