Glad everyone is ok, and things worked out

Didn't your adv keep firing when you were on the surface, due to your position in the water, i presume you were feet down head up while helping your friend

What dill were you using - just wondering

Paul

ADV wouldn't have kicked in until loop volume decreased. Being at the same depth the whole time (the surface), the volume wasn't changing.

Also - While in an upright position on the surface, the KISS classic is easiest to breath shallow. This is why I was able to kick the ADV in at will because I drew a very deep breath.
