Re: Freedivers safety vest in development

As the final version of the freedivers safety vest takes shape, we will make every effort to provide periodic updates with respect to the features, capabilities, and performance characteristics of the apparatus. Until all of the product's various features have been thoroughly tested and proven reliable, I am hesitant to tout features that might be regarded as "vapor-ware" (to borrow a term from the software industry).

Although, I believe that Terry Maas will be speaking on this subject at a conference in Florida in the near future.

In reference to the weight belt release feature, it is an option that remains "on the table." Perhaps it would be available as an option, or as a future add-on feature. Our primary concern is to provide an efficient and effective safety device, which is well-constructed, reliable, ergonomically designed, unobtrusive, convenient to use, and able to help reduce the number of deaths from SWB.

I greatly appreciate all of your interest in the FSV, and understand your desire to know more and possibly obtain one for yourself to use. We are making every effort to make the product available to freedivers as quickly as possible, but only after exhaustive design, testing, and review have been conducted.

Thanks,
Chip
