No fair reading the discussion until you've answered the poll!
A recent thread discussed why you might need to reach around to your tank valve during a dive. I was surprised that nobody mentioned J-valves. These things are still in use in some places; I know because I serviced a couple of them the other day.
It got me curious: what would most divers do when confronted with one? Assuming, of course, they know what a J-valve is and how it works! My answer would vary depending on the type of dive, phase of the moon, and how much skin is peeling off Michael Jackson's nose...
Pop Quiz for Extra Credit! Your air-integrated dive computer reads 3200PSI before the dive (goody) and everything looks great. Moments into the dive your computer goes nuts. Why?
