same here..
This change does seem to benefit the scooter diver the most - fair enough - the right hand is in use, therefore the left hand is free to navigate past the stages and into the pocket.
Edit: who will be deploying while scootering (I know - plonker Rodney). So the scooter is parked and the right hand is then free.. (?)
For those who are not diving a scooter - this is adding complexity. My right hand is free to go to my right pocket and get out my wet notes or smb.. Changing over to the left to where the stage(s) is - IMO - just adds to task loading.
Thats how I see it. Please tell me I am wrong..
I can't tell you you're wrong, I completely agree. I too cary stuff I think I might need in the right pocket as I find it easier to access.
I think the new valve drill makes more sense though.
