Its fine and very easy to service before every dive (just pop the diaphragm in your mouth )

I do get the occasional wet arm and it’s a PITA with Video or camera work as you can’t switch it off but its not so bad that I would get rid of it. If you horizontal ascend keeping the hands below shoulder height it’s absolutely no problem with a reel.

The only fitting problem is cutting a neat hole in the suit.
