Feel free to cast the first stone...

However apart from the replacement bc which in retrospect I should have not used because a)It was not in service and b) because I hadn't bought a clip for the occy. The other stuff was fine.
I guess I used it because it was familiar kit and I wanted to dive and didn't want to let other people down, which is again another thing to think about.
Therefore:Fair comment. I have learned from the experience.

The original Maveric bc (alas, in the diveshop)and Apex regs (used)were bought new in 2002 and have been serviced every year and they do not normally free flow. Sometimes even good kit, regularly serviced- fails/misbehaves. If you don't know this consider yourself lucky.

PS how often do you service your bc and drysuit?
Safe diving.
