Following the Thalassa program of October 08 on deep-sea fishing, read the very very interesting and documented “rant by Claire Nouvian (BLOOM Association).
Here is a very good question, I will try to be brief to answer you:
- Primary vocation of Fenzy like Stab : Ensure theSafetyof the Diver by modifying its buoyancy.
- The Fenzy, initially, only had an inflation system at the mouth, period. Then we added a small bottle of O, 495 L, which we dabbed on the main bottle, before diving and which we “hit” under the water, just in case, to go up in emergency. Diving balancing was always done by mouth.
- Then, with the invention of DS (Direct System), means of semi-automatic inflation, we have seen the Fenzy, on the market, equip yourself with it, always coupled with this small bottle of 0,4 L (not reprobable).
- Little by little we abandoned the little bottle (hazardous), in favor of DS… The Stabs, then arrived on the market. The Fenzy, retained despite everything, the interest of keeping the Airways out of the water in the event of a “glitch” ...
- In short, the Stab arrives… More comfortable, more ergonomic, more hydrodynamic, also allowing to replace the good old type strapping “Dumas”And the straps type“backpack“… In addition, the undercut of the Fenzy could put up the “family jewels” if it was badly adjusted as well as the back which could compress the chest uncomfortably…
- We will keep a “sparcklette” at the CO², to hit like 0,4 L, on certain
