Shopper Does it have a low pressure inflator hose adaptor so that it can be inflated with your BC hose?
DOUG W No. It does not come with an inflator for a BC hose.
DAVID M No it does not have that type of connector. The simplest method is to use your octopus and purge air into the bottom of the tube
BLAINE N No, just exhale into the bottom.
ROB J No. You can inflate with you regulator from the bottom
JAMES R It does not. You inflate this one through the bottom and it has a one-way collapse opening so the air will not come out until you get to the surface. - Also has a dump valve at the top.
SPENCER H No, it does not. I prefer this system with the anti-dump baffle at the bottom over the LP hose connection.
With the bottom baffle, I use the alternate 2nd stage purge button, add a small amount of air to straighten the buoy, then give it a big pump of air and let 'er go.
Practice a little, and you should get good results...
I like mine, and have another OMS 6'. Both are good, but the 9'7" has been my favorite.
