"Do any of yuo use "Air2" as your back-up second stage?"
Most everyone I dive with these days uses either ScubaPro's Air 2 (or one of the clones). Seems my trusty octopus and I are the lone holdouts; throwbacks to the age of the plesiosaurs.
I dunno. I just kinda prefer the idea of my buddy being able to snatch a big breath of air off a longggg highly-visible hose attached to my hip should the unhappy occasion ever arise. They can even grab it if my back is to them.
Just a personal preference I guess.
The selection of gear these days is just-plain-astonishing, yah?
