I have a question about wing/plate placement for my Kraken.
I experienced a bit of wet breathing today while diving. It was just a slight drip like gurgle, that I was more of an annoyance than anything else.
I was in shallow water around 10 feet max doing a pier inspection. When I got out I noticed the wing material was blocking the bottom vent ports of the can, and when I lifted the hose assembly up vertical a bunch of water came out of the bottom vents.
I think maybe the wing was interfering with the exhaust flow causing a wet draw? Ive used this reg a dozen times or more, and this is the first time I have noticed this. All my tube connections are tight and the hose does not appear to have any holes in it. I am attaching some photos of how I rig it up. I have seen where some have the wing go totally infront of the cans. Which I would think would make the cans to far away from your shoulder blades?
I was diving my dry suit so I use the suit for buoyancy control.
Thanks for any tips or information.
Cheers~ Clete
This is how I rig it up.
However during entry or the dive the plate must have shifted cause a fold of material to cover the bottom vents, which I think cause a exhaust flow restriction?
