Drysuit dump valve questions?

[Woz]

<font color='#000080'>I have a cuff dump on the suit but also have a Scubapro autodump kicking about.

Is it worth fitting the auto dump? I can always screw it down if I don't like it and use the cuff.

Hmmmmmm.....

Tried both, settled on auto. Far better system. Wouldn't even consider going back to a cuff dump.

I've tried both too but I think the auto dump is overrated, I might be very tempted to go back to a cuff dump in the future

Holy War!

Burn the Heretic!

And let's not even start on the &quot;put an autodump on the cuff&quot; mutants

What don't you like about the auto, Steve?

<font color='#32CD32'>Personally I love my auto-dump.

for me,I keep mine fully open and I just have to roll a bit to dump, don't have to move my hands or drop anything etc.

But, I guess you get used to a system and then that works for you.

I do the same, Juz - wide open at all times unless I'm at the surface

Don't forget my manual dump, Dom!

Moving my duff auto to a better spot, so guess what's going to plug the hole... &nbsp;

Okay my fault - bunged up the cuff dump with talc but forgotten the number of times it jammed shut and I had to waggle my air in the air and then resort to banging the bejeepers out of it with my UK400 torch &nbsp; &nbsp;convinced me that autodumps was the way.

Never looked back. Also means you can crank it shut on the surface and just inflate suit and lie back (as it were)
