    Ballast System Survey

    I noticed the redboat219 had posted a poll over on the SC site, and knowing that a large number of RCABS fans lurk there, I wondered if the poll would be accurate.
    Knowing that a lot of Gas fans live here, perhaps that would balance out the bias, so I have made a similar poll here, but changed the questions slightly to better reflect the numerous systems available. I've also improved the poll by allowing multiple choices in each individual's post.

    Compressed gas (CO2, Propel etc)
    19.51%

    Compressed gas + snorkel

    Dynamic diving
    7.32%

    I see the merits in quite a few systems - but for simplicity combined with an accelerated start to the hobby I recommend the Subdriver with snort capability.

    I like RCABS and sealed tank pump setups too.

    I don't think there is a best system as so much of it IMO comes down to personal choice and the individual application.

    You would not steal a wallet so don't steal people's livelihood.
    Think of that before your buy "cheap" pirated goods or download others work protected by copyright. Theft is theft.

      I'm with SLATS on this one. Gas and snort.

      I almost always run in the pool and just use the snort.
