A guy that dives a lot where I often dive use the Carbondive 12l tanks for bailout, and is happy with them. He has attached a 1kg weight on the bottom of the tanks to somewhat help with the boyancy.
I have a Remora.
I like that it uses AA-batteries. The battery-compartment is also sealed, so if you get a leak here it shouldn't flood the controller itself. Unlike Petrel's.
I didn't have the Decoman-software on my Apecs-controller, but that came with the Remora. I like the...
I use the Tecline II on my Meg, and it works fine. But since I dive in cold water and has all the weights on my rig, It's quite negative even with full wing and lungs.
I have also used the Halcyon Evolve 60, I should probably use that when diving of Rhib's without ladder for doffing in water.
I...
@mr_v : I know about the 2.7->Shearwater conversion.
If Meg15-Shw conversion would be just new electronics-box and reprogramming of my Petrel2 as controller it could be interesting. But as I have the Remora-controller and my old Apecs4 as backup, and my 9v batteries lasts long enough that I...
Yeah, looking at smal critters etc. is not easy any longer. They are often in the "unfocused" zone between the readers and the normal glass. I kinda want glasses with three strengths for that purpose.
My bifocal mask is now on +3, but my normal reading-glasses is +1,5 and +2,0 depending on what I'm reading.
I think the extra strength on the mask is because the arm/computer is closer to my face due to drysuit and webbing restricting movement of my arm.
For two-stage boosters you need to have a reduction-valve on your supply-tank. I think this could be a normal first-stage, or something like this: Sauerstoffreglerventil Messing Sauerstoffflasche Druckminderventil - AliExpress 1420
So you can't decant through your booster anymore.
If you're not opposed to a stand, many of us in Norway use a variant of this setup. This is me with a chubby 2L tank for suit-inflation. I like the added height for donning/doffing, I'm 185cm...
These kit's are only for adding to the 2nd generation FSR/XTX200's. If you fit it to the older 1st's you will severly restrict gas-flow.
So do not do this..
Many divers over here use the Gerbing MC-jacket, and that is usually used as a layer between baselayer and undersuit as you would with a heated vest.
