Rebreather world

For those who celebrate independance day

happy 4th of July

I am on my way to my firedepartment job so we will be having fun with all the stupid people who hold onto firecrackers to long.

"look mommy, no fingers"

Tip for the day; watch out for short fuses. :devilbanr:

Reading some recent posts I was wondering what set-points people are using these days. In my class we were taught a 1.2 was pretty standard for most types of diving. I'm wondering if that has changed. For the purposes of this poll consider a maximum depth range of 200 Feet (61 Meters). I assume some of you might use different set points for more extreme dives, or shallower dives... If that's the case indicate that in a post.... Also note if you bump up the set point for Deco.

Thanks,
Richie

Hey guys.

So i finnaly skipped away my Dräger dolphin and used my saveings on a Magladon Eccr from Inner space systems.

Il be starting on my training in about 14 days , where il get my first dive on it.

So im sitting here at home googleing a bit and the first i find is a diver dead at 75m on this devise, due to error in the electronics.

So my question to all of your eccr meg divers is , whats your experiances on this device ??

Best regards

Nick Gorell :sarcy:

I have a read a few comments on here about replacing the stock harness and clips.

I find the stock harness not very smooth to tighten, but thats about it; seems OK - why have others replaced the harness and with what?

(and am just taking about the harness, not the back plate; my sentinel came with a replacement thick heavy backplate, which is great).

Have been looking in regularly now. Great forum topics and interesting reading. After 20 years of blowing bubbles finally plucked up the courage to go the CCR route. Off to Lanzarote this Thursday to collect my new Evolution + Vison and spending the week there (and the next year + in Scottish waters) learing how to use it :-)

Cheers

Hi,

When I got my unit I got 60kg of sorb with it - very nice of the chap selling the unit! (3x20kg drums).
1st drum -all gone2nd drum - in use3rd drum - never been openedHowever, I don't think I'll get through it all by the expiry date - Nov 09. The last of the remaining 20kg drum has not been opened and I doubt I'll get to open it before the use-by date.

How long will the sorb be useable for or would best practice be to disregard the unopened drum when it hits the 'use-by date'?

Many thanks,

bec

Hi everyone,

enjoying reading the RBW since a while now...
Got my KISS Classic recently, :devilbanr:hope to get some good ideas here.
Cheers!

Currently oc diver wondering how long do you average at around 130ft/rec limits.If you could also specify what equiptment you use with other tek factors i'm unfamiliar with that would be great.Thanks

ok, dont know whether to post this on the Shearwater or this forum but no doubt someone will inform me.

I have a COPIS II with the external fischer for connecting a computer; in this case a pursuit.

Anyway, the pursuit reads cells 2 and 3 but displays nothing for cell 1 apart from sometimes it flashes up 2.50 and then goes blank.

Is there anyway around this or do I have a dodgy cable? Could the cell be out of range? When I first replaced this cell, the Mv was really high compared to the other 2 but it has now settled down.

Thanks

In light of the incident that has happened to the new poseidon unit - it seems that a use case of the unit had escaped the testing procedures.


Can you give us a view of how much actual real dive testing has been done on the APOC? ie has a unit been used on multiple days diving in real life scenarios? - ie testing for the unexpected things that are likely to happen to the unit in practical dive trip reality?

I have just bought an Aquasun D3 back up torch,nice handy rechargeable back up torch.
Its powered by a 3.7v Li-ion rechargeable battery so far so good :rolleyes:me thinks a spare battery off tinternet would be handy.
Now comes the problem, the new battery is the same type number and is 5.7v @2800 mah against the original 2600 mahr but the new battery is 5mm shorter.
Again no problem just machine a 5mm brass cap to extend the +ve battery connection.The original battery charges no problem but the new battery is having non of it any one got an idea what might be in the 5mm of extra battery in the original that might allow it to charge but not allow an independant batteryto charge??
No big deal the battery was cheap from Hongkong but its bugging me like hell.

Selling my Meg COPIS II. It includes everything in picture but KM48 pod on loop. This unit only has 20 dives on it and is in like new condition as you can see from the pictures. It has the fischer cable as well and can lid. I am asking $6400. The copis II stripped is selling for $6250.00 then you add tax in Wa state and that another $700.00 plus alum 19's on meg website for $500, and the fischer cable for at least $200. If you would like more pics or any questions feel free to pm me.

Cannot find the menu to edit setpoints. Does the unit need to be calibrated first. The Shearwater is in CC mode I have 21/00 selected as a gas and have 21/00 selected as bailout.

Cycled through the dive setup menu and do not see this option or the option to change setpoints.

Any help is appreciated

By the way I have read the manual.

Thanks

Tony

Hi Paul and anyone else,

just wanted to hear if further testing on the rEvo III has caused changes to the current rEvo III design?

Can you give any details on the BOV design - how to operate, offboard or inboard connection ect., pictures, ect.

And last...does CE require some kind of scrubber monitor?

Cheers

Hi, I'm new to this forum and would like to say hello. I have a question and was wondering what is the most common commercially used closed circuit rig. I know this is a Ford/Chevy debate. But any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Inspiration Vision Diver.. New to the site. Looknig toward some insightful dialogue. I just wanted to say hello to all who care from Long Island NY. Presently reconfiguring my rig to a similar concept that I use for cave and wreck diving. I have already gleamed much info from others who have posted there suggestions concerning a similar modified DIR concept. Much thanks to all involved. Regards, msnchirodoc

I have a Golem BOV for sale with 15 hours of dive time on it. I will throw in the P-Port Adapter for it and a Spanky new Omniswivel.
