pretty sure this is one of the pre production units, bit it looks pretty close to the first couple I have seen out in the wild.

How do you use a drysuit inflation button if you have a rebreather strapped on your chest?
OP
Reach inside. It's not a problem.

I have a hard time figuring how this would work out with scitec dry gloves for instance. It would mean pushing the lungs a good 5+ inch from the chest. Interesting chipmunk cheeks sensations to be expected, I presume. Not something that could be done with one hand either on the way down holding a shot line in strong current... But I guess the unit is tailored for special use cases?

I assume it's similar to the triton, in the sense the inflator is pretty accessible.

Woah, interesting move from Dive Rite!
I have a Castoro / OMG C96 which is like a Lar V, it's kinda strange. But oh so compact.
How is flood resistance on the Dive Rite? The C96 would flood pretty much immediately if mouthpiece was yoinked out.

Easy to recover. There's a purge on the right side.

I got to dive with Lamar last year while he was still testing this unit and played with it for a bit on dryland, Ill be excited to get mine later this year hopefully, currently my main breather is my backmount optima and I love love love it.
