I have the Apeks and the 4E. The Apeks don’t stay put well on the boat, but more capacity, hate the d rings. 4E stay up better, less space, like the bungees.

Thanks, its not a huge bunch that does this sort of thing, tech or not…I just don’t find it encouraging getting stiffed doesn’t proliferate the activity thats for sure.

Still fighting…Its just not good trying to make these remote adventures happen and you seemingly do your do diligence and get screwed. Happy to go stick my head in a cave in Mexico in a few weeks rather than worry about a south pacific trip that might happen.

Thats kinda interesting the ones you see marketed the most are at the bottom of that list.

Good to know, it’s getting to a point where you aren’t just worried about the gas (u can analze that), but logistics when things take a dump.

So I’m posting this in the technical forum for the purpose of reaching the relevant people…(and maybe making a stink)…I paid for a trip to Bikini Atoll and the trip was ultimately a failure due to issues with the airline….It was higly encouraged to purchase insurance on this trip which I did as...

Sounds like you have great ammunition for that new charcoal bbq you have always wanted.

The rat in the movie was actually doing it that was real. Seems a person would need to be intubated to be able to clear the co2 or mechanical lung, dialysis type thing. Probably impractical….think how mad a boat captain will be when a dozen tech divers barf out gallons of perfluorocarbon all...

It would be interesting if hydrox diving could revive deep oc diving in the future, or at least start there. Playing with Fire: Hydrogen as a Diving Gas

kinda the nature of the beast, had other ideas for it, had to rethink trying it…

The sidewinder is a tool for a specific job. It can never breathe as well as some of the backmount stuff in all positions, ignoring its hose size and scrubber diameter, the counterlung is low and gonna inhale easy and exhale hard head up. Too much for me if I was in a scenario i had to work...

I was just interested in this as a more packable rebreather than a full backmount rebreather. It was very very bad in any sort of head up orientation but I think thats mostly the nature of the sidewinder not something I would want to ocean dive with so didn’t persue any further.

Little experiment a couple years ago just had the CL floating between my back and plate. I liked the bigger wider lung more seemed more consistent wob wise.

Go swim around with two bailouts if you don’t already.

I actually have no gauges on mine lol, but I do have transmitters going to my hud that I look at and might think about a few times during the dive. Yes you have to monitor your ppo2 but generally nothing happens very fast on ccr…generally. Its decents and acents that you are really watching...

They are definitely more practical for anything involving depths requiring helium and even more so in remote locations. They can buy lots of time in overhead environments that oc can’t match, so I feel they are actually safer in some instances. I also think they are more enjoyable to dive and...

I have an uwld canister light with the sidemount gland that works well with my rebreather, but gonna be doing some oc doubles diving…I understand its not the way but some people manage. Anyone got a photo of how you rig it?

My micro is under 50lbs in a 1607 with diverite transpac, revo buttplate, and nomad wing. Just carry on the loop hoses.

I think the lack of integration of transmitters or secondary handset has become one of the revos merits. Most of this fluff dying on some of these new shiny rebreathers you may be stuck sending the head in for repair. The revo just put an a gauge on it or add a third cell to a nerd if you have...

Hows the noise level of the divesoft dsv? I had a gg dsv on my revo for a bit and i couldn’t stand how noisey it was compared to the revo dsv. Swapping to revo mushroom valves helped but still drove me nuts. The gg hud mount for the nerd is also annoying as it moves around.
