Custom Divers TBK Sportwing

[JAG]

<font color='#000080'>Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to add, or had an extra pull down exhaust valve added on to the shoulder?

I got very used to dumping air on my BC this way, and the current dump valve on the wing is proving difficult to locate underwater.

Many thanks,

Ian

Not sure about your post but I have a related TBK query (so it shouldn't steal your thread).

I have tried my new TBK on but no matter how high or low I wear the harness or how much I adjust it to the wing the LP inflator/pull dump always seems to sit far back on the wing and rests almost horizontally when I am vertical. This means that rather than pull the LP down to dump air you have to pull it out - also the hose seems to almost have a kink in it where it attaches the to wing when I wear it because of the angle its in when it comes over my shoulder.

Is this normal ? Come on, what's the obvious point I'm missing ?!!!!!

Thanks in advance,



Kristen

<font color='#32CD32'>I found a similar problem with the TDB, I think it's desinged to be routed under your arm.

I dive using my suit so only use the wing at the surface, I route the inflator hose straight down and the inflate/deflate assembly sits on my left kidney.

Ahhh, that makes a lot of sense (and may take some getting used to!). Thanks for the reply.

On the first point (and thinking out loud so don't shoot me down in flames because I've missed obvious safety points) what about having a piece of bungie so that the hose is always attached to the waist band or attaching the hose to your arm ?
