I was reading a thread where a diver had an uncontrolled ascent and found myself asking, why not pull the knife and cut the end off of the inflator hose and should that fail, slice open the BC?
First let me say that Ive never had a problem with my wing or any other BC because I do check valve operation before every dive but should all the valves fail to open would I have the presence of mind to pull my knife and give the wing a careful slice. I can always buy a new wing but I would rather not get bent if I can help it.
LOL...cut your BC to control an ascent. Too funny.
Thats what you get for learning on the internet.
