What goes around, comes around

Perhaps I misunderstand you, but is it correct to paraphrase you that your instructor finally discovered DIVING after using a BP&W (for the first time)?

Is this a troll or an attempt at a joke?

and it's usually you ^, honey!

crush, she meant it was nice to pay back the person who showed her diving by showing him something new to him.

lynne, sounds really nice. i'm glad he had fun.

Boltsnap for primary reg should be SS

...Why?

To the new convert:

Welcome to the bright side. Now comes the fun part, the fine-tuning.

Looking at the photo, the following items can be improved:

LP hose for wing inflator needs to be shorter and tied to corrugated hose with piece of inner tube
Backup reg hose is too long and does not need strain-relief sleeve
Hose for primary reg is too short (probably due to routing - maybe 7' hose needed)
Boltsnap for primary reg should be SS

Wow ... spoken like a brand-new Fundies grad.

I don't think Lynne was trying to "convert" the guy to DIR ... just let him try one of her backplates. The dude doesn't need $100 worth of mods to his regulator to do that ...

It was a great pleasure and privilege to help introduce to something new, someone who introduced me to something new - DIVING!

FYI, yesterday was some special day for karma, you pick a great day for your good act.

I still read it differently but accept that my reading is incorrect. Glad to been have found in error.

Delightful post, Lynne.

Great surrounding yourself with open-minded divers. It appears your OW instructor was definitely open to try different gear and styles of diving. Kudos to him and to you!!!!

...Why?

Because that's the fun part. Try to keep up, Dale. You probably thought the fun part was the actual diving.

...Why?

Looks better, does not corrode, and puts more food on the table of your LDS owner.

The other theory is that brass gets sharp edges quicker, which - as an engineer - I find hard to believe.
