Does he have any plans to produce a cover for the diaphragm???

The ADV diaphargm cover is tough like a hockey puck. If you mean a soft rubber cover, then no. The ADV needs to be well protected as it sits on the top of the unit. It needs to take the abuse scraping it against the cave ceiling.
This is also why we changed the ADV membrane. The new menbrane would survive getting poked through the purge hole by sharp wreckage as it has a SS reinforcement plate on the top.
If you worry about beign able to purge through the hole with drysuit gloves you can stop worrying. You dont need to purge it. You just lay on your back to auto flush the loop.

Thank you Andy for answering my questions...

Actually what I had in mind would be more a cover that would prevent anything from entering the diaphragm chamber. I'm not scared that it would puncture it but mainly that it would stuck it, like per say: A twig or something would get inside and block the ADV open... I know the risk is minimal and are easily fixed but that's what I had in mind, I usually don't like to have my stuff unprotected/covered...
