    Any particular reason why? Seems like they've lost a few instructors in recent past

    Prebreathing Survey

    Breath the unit after assembly for a minute (not wearing it incase something is broken) to ensure solenoid functions, battery life, cmf working, etc.. Then, Put loop in mouth as soon as unit is on my back and breath it while I get other things sorted before splashing.

    Bauer Moisture Separator Help

    Thanks for the detailed response iain/hsm - it's that type of commentary that keeps us home-brewers up and running. It is much appreciated. Along with the compressor and Bauer moisture separator I also acquired a 27" mako filter tower that takes PD1503 cartridges. As best I can tell, the...

    Bauer Moisture Separator Help

    Hi, I recently purchased a Rix SA-6 compressor that came with a separate (old) Bauer Moisture separator. Manufacture date appears to be 1967.... I'm doing my due diligence on the compressor but unfortunately I don't know anything about moisture separators and can't seem to track down a manual...

    Compressor/Booster Advice for CCR

    Right now I'm considering a Coltri Sub MCH6 for a compressor and haskel mini sport booster, pairing that with a K of O2 and helium... Coltri Sub MCH6 Series of Air Compressors from RCS Haskel Mini Sport Booster Seems like nice tight package for the relatively small amount of filling I'll be...

    Compressor/Booster Advice for CCR

    Welcome advice on a small economical solution for a compressor and booster system to support CCR diving (i.e. filling 3L's Air, Trimix, O2) and occasionally larger OC bottles. System would be garage based (so thinking electric is optimal??) if it were mobile and could be loaded into an SUV...

    I do not like yellow

    Na Sayers be damned, I've been diving CCR for twelve years...certed on the Inspo,mk15, JJ, and revo. Revo is my favorite. I rhino lined my cover. Of course you can just dive it a lot, eventually you'll have enough battle scars on it that the yellow will wear off

    Let's grind up the seafloor, mining for riches.

    They need to mine the sea floor to obtain the materials needed to build the devices we use to debate the validity of mining the sea floor on the internet.

    SF2 or REvo rebreathers

    Mk15, Inspo, Revo, and Drager (maybe it shouldn't count as it's an O2 rig.) Perhaps it has bearing on this conversation, perhaps not, a casual observation I've made is that the people who have the most vitriol for the revo are: 1) From Florida 2) Are CCR instructors that teach on competing units

    SF2 or REvo rebreathers

    Im certified on four other CCRs, Revo is hands down my favorite. *I'm not an instructor and have no conflict of interest

    Dry glove system for Santi smart seals

    If they are that tight maybe trim then back a touch? How difficult is it for you to get your hands through them when you put on your suit? The flexing trick even worked on my old viking suit with the super thick and tight conical HD seals. Had to put KY on to get my hands through them things...

    Dry glove system for Santi smart seals

    You guys are way over complicating this. If I forget to tuck my under gloves into the seals or they slip out just making a fist, flexing, and rolling your wrists around is enough to break the seal and allow the gloves to equalize.

    Need a drysuit? Bring your questions to this roundtable!

    Just tuck your under glove into the seal, if it leaks pull the sleeve up your arm so the glove slips out from under the seal.

    SF2 or REvo rebreathers

    Curious to know why? Have been diving my Revo for four years and absolutely love it compared to the four other CCRs I'm certed on.

    What is your IWR Kit Comprised of?

    Ok, a lot to unpack here. First by way of Bona Fides to substantiate my position. I'm actually a Navy EOD and Diving Officer and still work in that capacity as a reservist, in fact just last month I was at NEDU... So, not "just a combat diver" as you say - and why the tone BTW? To ensure we've...

    What is your IWR Kit Comprised of?

    Not untrue at all. The basis for my assertion is in fact the very Navy regs you're citing - I am (was) a Navy trained diver and have spent many hours on the Drager. I forget the exact numbers (I'm happy to reach out to some friends at NEDU if need be) but even after a perfect purge sequence you...
