One interesting 'feature' that I discovered is a virtually flood-proof OTS lung with bottom vent valve.

When I loosened off the setting on the vent valve for a boom-drill stage-bottle OC ascent from 20m, the vent valve came completely off in my hands. Just do as I did, ascend slowly head up, surface swim 200m forwards keeping head up, climb up the rocks, walk to the cars, open the can and not a drop of water inside. Quitely confident as I could feel the air in the lungs the whole time. One inch of water in the bottom lung. Back diving again in 10 minutes.

.
I have seen this happen on several new units and it should be checked every dive. It seems whoever is installing them these days hasn't heard about "Leon tight"
