There are a few out there as upgrades to certain rebreathers in addition to those on the Apoc's - Homebuild, Boris, Sentinel, LAR, rEvo, Mk15/15.5 types off the top of my head but rarely are Open Safety advised what they are being fitted to. Pics returned showing fitment at FacebookYet to see one of these ALVBOV’s on anything at all since I started diving CCR in 2013. Is that just me or has anyone ever seen one of these actually being used, ever ?????
If you only dive with those with recreational units that have Left to Right gas flow you'll continue to never see one fitted....
One of these days Open Safety will publish the test reports for just how much upgrade with the ALVBOV drops certain units default WOB compared to the stock DSV/BOV or other aftermarket options; but it's low priority.
Just as soon as any other BOV manufacturer, bothers to test their BOV and publish its WOB results for CC and OC modes to the CE standard, quite how significant the difference in performance will be rather obvious.
