well.....
You make it sound idiot proof. If it is not = defect.

I was on a night dive once. A diver's light did not work. Dead battery. Was on another dive when the divers 2nd stage fell off because it was not screwed on tight enough. In reality, most of our gear is not idiot proof however.

Thanks for the link. I have an Atomis swivel, and I believe that IS idiot proof .

Diving sucks. Don't try it.

They called themselves Guerrilla Divers.
Composed of elite divers with Macho mentalities, back when men were men, and FEAR was a lispy companion of the common Man. It was a time before insurance liabilities, lawsuits or beauracratic regulation of the "sport".
Guerrilla divers didn't need "Buoyancy Compensator Vests". In fact, "Anyone who needs a BC deserves to drown" was a popular adage.
Exploration and the Hunt came first, excitement and fun followed. Safety was the stepchild of fitness, good reflexes and a cool head.
This was a time of great Adventure.
HELP SUDS and Wounded Soldiers learn to DIVE!
