The manufacturer did a Demo for Miami Dade Fire Rescue and these are some of the
comments

CAPT. SELTS,
OUT OF THE TWO MANUFACTURES, I FAVOR THE RIPTIDE QUICK RESPONSE UNIT (REDS) WITH THE 13 CUBIC FOOT AIR SUPPLY MOUNTED IN THE FRONT. THIS UNIT IS FAVORABLE BECAUSE WITH THE BOTTLE IN FRONT, YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO EXIT AN ENTANGLEMENT THAN WITH ONE MOUNTED IN THE REAR. I FAVOR THE UNIT WITHOUT THE 3 CUBIC FOOT HEED BOTTLE ATTACHED BELOW
----JUST MORE EQUIPMENT THAT COULD POSSIBLY HANG UP. I SUGGEST THAT THIS DIVE GEAR BE FOR THE FIRST DIVER AS QUICK ENTRY WITH THE BACK-UP DIVER DRESSED OUT WITH FULL DIVE GEAR

PAT,
THIS DIVE GEAR CAN BE ON THE DIVER IN A SEAT BELT WHEN RESPONDING TO THE SCENE. THE GEAR IS LIGHT WEIGHT, NO FATIGUE IF HAVING TO GO LONG DISTANCES FROM THE VEHICLE TO THE SCENE. ONCE IN THE WATER, IT'S LIKE YOUR NOT WEARING THE UNIT.
