    dragger oxygauge

    So, at 180' my oxygauge took on a very small amount of water (small droplets were visible after inspection ) and stopped functioning (I just hate it when that happens). When you break them, Dragger doesn't fix them. I know of three in a small group of divers with nonworking units. Has anyone...

    Me to, questions. Basic course for which rebreather? Hadn't heard of the minimum loop volume thing. You add going down and vent going up. Should be able to maintain position in water column at max volume in loop. So you have to have the lead to stay down for max floatation. Mine is a manual so...

    Transform a Dreager Ray to a CCR

    What conditions do you plan to dive under? Tubby's got two styles. Mine is more of a tech setup.

    Drager ray

    Ther are a number of ways to convert it to closed circuit. A search on semi closed conversions should pull some up.

    Backplate for Ray?

    yes to the backplate. not sure what you mean about the positive buyancy. There is a dead section in the center of the bc air bag. You can burn match holes through the shell and bc air bag, then bolt it down. The counter lungs fold out of the way.

    Rebreather idiot with question?

    Suggestions, your in a dry suit so that's out of the way. You'll have to keep up on your open curcuit skills cause that is what we usually bailout to, unless we bail to a second RB. Your nitrox, deepdive, and trimix are all taught on open curcuit. So it does not hurt to get all of that out...

    Dragar Ray Question

    On one of my Ray configurations I used a 60% dolphin jet and adjusted my mix based on how deep I wanted to dive and my O2 usage. I dove this to 150'. I had added a loop flush and could not surface swim the bottle mix.

    Drager fill adapter

    My apoligies. That should have been a private post to diverdB not an open one. Like a lot of home builders I have parts on the shelf that I have mutated beyond. PLEASE NOTE caveseekers comments. The Ray and Dolphin first stages are not interchangable. The Ray first stage is balanced.

    Drager fill adapter

    I have a fill adapter, 30cu. ft. tank, draeger tank valve, metal thread cap protector, and drager first stage off of a Ray. You can buy any or all for 75% of list, you pay for shipping for Seattle, Washington area. P.S. most of the shops up here have adapter to fill your tank for their own...

    Drager oxy gauge sensor

    The original dolphin was setup by flow rate not gauge ppO2. Wazza, replace your battery on the gauge, should fix the problem.

    Question on counter lungs

    The previous CL's that came apart were original equipment, dreager ray CL's. The 200 deneir is the material that I am using for replacement CL's. In all cases the seam seperated. If all else fails.... that's why we carry bailout. Will let you know.

    Question on counter lungs

    The CL's that I am replacing were welded. The first set gave way on the second dive. The replacement pair have given away twice, the seal just comes apart. I don't have near this kind of trouble with drysuit parts that I do, so the glue I know beats the seam I don't trust anymore. About...

    Question on counter lungs

    Question is for home builders. I am replacing my counter lungs and using a 200 denier nylon, waterproof, glue clothe. I am double layering the connetion points and the glue seams are half inch. Am I missing anything? Am considering a circle of liquid rubber around the contact points. Thanks in...

    Max depth?

    inspiration has been down to over 600' ( that wasn't problem free). It can handle 300' on a regular basis. Do donkeys really kill more people annually?

    Dolphin or Ray

    wazza, My email is divendeep@netzero.net Email me and we'll work something out. I need to shoot some pictures anyway for some other things, can add a couple of shots. Safety factor would depend on your opinion of the inspiration, everyone calls mine a baby inspiration. Cannister...

    Dolphin or Ray

    Have dove with both. Found the Ray to be more confortable. The Ray was much easier to make modifications to and to convert to CCR. Ebay is the best bet for buying. Complete unit around $1800 with little wear shows up now and then. I took two of the cannisters, cut off opposite ends, and plastic...

    What is this KISS thingy?

    It's the little things that get you people started. Then you just have to get out of the way.

    Advanced Dolphin diving

    I agree with padiscubapro. I later converted a daeger ray to CCR, much better way to go for me. That 32% jet is really kicking out the gas. BIG bottles.
