<font color='#000080'>Hi

AndyG uses a wrist (or rather forearm) dump, as do many of the Seattle based DIR divers. It is a low profile Apeks jobbie. Most DIR divers have the dump (Hi Profile Apeks or SiTech) on the left shoulder. I have to say I prefer a shoulder dump but then again, AndyG is one of the best divers I have ever seen in the water and it works for him.

It is common for drysuits to have them in the wrong place, although DUI and OThree don't seem to have that problem.

Hope that helps

Andy
