Thanks for the input Ron...obviously all aspects of flood removal and bailoff are covered within the Meg training....I was however under the impression that this was about what improvements a user would like to make to his unit. In my case, maybe wrongly, I think that the provision of a pull dump, in particular in a high task load scenario on the ascent,may be a good thing. Remember, with the bov in situ, you have in effect a closed loop and are threrfor relying on the opv to vent gas on the way up.

Dont APD have a pulldump on the lung for just such a thing?

Why not just wind out the OPV or manually operate it if need be?

As for improvements;

Back mounted lungs
Standard with an OC/CC DSV
Choice of HUD display system.
Insulated can for increased scrubber duration
The latches anoy me from time to time
A way of slowing down and speeding up time (more bottom time and less deco)
