Brigade bottom dump pull

[tarheeldiver]

I have the brigade bc which I love. I have one problem, does anyone else have a problem with their rear dump pull getting twisted around the bladder cord. I don't use the dump much so I forget to check between dives.
thanks

mine does too!

I hav e gotten to be an expert at getting it loose while diving.

Yeah, Mine did also. I never really used it though so it didn't bother me much.

If it bothers you some people take the knobs off and only leave the string with a knot in the end. Having the large knobs dangling is also an entanglement hazard that has the potential to dump your bc unexpectedly. If they are causing you grief I would take them off.

[tarheeldiver]

Might try that Chad! The only problem would be coldwater diving finding the string with heavy gloves.

Haven't had that problem, but on boats where they set your second tank for you I've had them trap one under the lower tank band. I hate that so always check for it now.
