I was reading a review on it by Bill Mac and thought I'd start a thread about the FRV here. (Quote from Bill McIntyre) The review is good. I think the FRV is a great idea and kudos to Terry Maas for bringing it to the freediving community. Me personally I don't think I'll be using it, and it doesn't have to do with the cost. I think it's because I just don't want to deal with another piece of gear. Also as in any situation where you relegate responsibility to a machine, there are things that can go wrong. One situation I envision is being tangled at depth in some way, and needing to reach down to free yourself at the very end of your breathhold. If you had any kind of chance of success, and the vest deploys at this moment, you're toast.
