Mares BC

[cbadrik]

I was wondering if the Kaila and Dragon are NITROX ready or will they need a converter?

I can't find anything confirming nitrox compatability on the net.

I would consult Mares directly.

Great question IMHO.

Ya, I cant find the phone # on the site to call

These are BCs? You should have learned in your nitrox class that BCs do not have to be 02 clean.

maybe he hasn't yet taken the course and just wants to buy one that will last through that cert level......

Good point. I assumed if that were the case the question would have been: do BCs need to be nitrox ready. My bad. I also wasnt sure if he was asking about Regs.

In any case, if you are using nitrox, then only theings that will touch greater than 40% 02 need to be 02 clean, which differs from Nitrox Ready, in some cases. Typically this means only tanks. Basically unless you are using a rebreather recreationally only your tank needs to be have special attention for nitrox.

There are different regulations by location. In North America you are fine. The specific Do's/don'ts are in the book that comes with each BC.

Thanks,
