Question BOV for Choptima?

[CSDoug]

Is there BOV available for the Choptima? I am unable to locate a specific recommendation. I do not own a CCR but am looking at options.

I have fitted the Divesoft BOV with ADV, I like it.

I prefer the dsv

I am considering a similar config on my Triton. Any reason why you preferred the DSV after trying a BOV config? Thanks!

The reason you are unable to locate a specific recommendation is that there is not a recommended one for the Choptima.

I would ask why you feel like one is necessary?
(Please don’t actually answer that as there is not enough time for the BOV/DSV argument.)

I have dived the Horizon SCR which has a BOV, so I was just curious about options.

The DSV is just simpler, lighter, and less cluttered feeling. The extra hose somewhat limits head movement which is already restricted enough from the loop.

Is it not just piecing together all the fittings? As always I reserve the right to be missing something or FOS.

Hi, I'm planning to purchase the same config, can you share a photo of your setup, thanks!

What happens if you cannot plug into your off-board gas? Do you have a primary regulator attached to the cylinder?
