| Imported post This can be stopped by wrapping electricians tape over the holes on the side of the second stage exhaust valves. Someone once told me you shouldn't do this (can't remember who or the reason given) but I know a lot of people do without problems.

| Imported post The only time I've heard of tape being used was for diving in currents to stop the edge of the diaphram lifting and you ending up with a gob full of water. Jetstreams in my experience can be very tempermental on a dive to dive basis. They either work very well or are bordering on crap.

| Imported post I luv em.... but servicing costs are a bitch. I now run them for 3 years and sell them on, moving them from No 1 rig to No2 and then as a spare. Given the low cost new (if you hunt around) and what folk will pay on places like e-bay; if you take into account Total Cost of Ownership (ie servicing etc), I am sure I am quids in. Simon
