Adapter for a Shrimp BOV...

Haa, yes a small world indeed!!! I got the Swagelok tap from Martin at TekMe, it's a custom piece with 9/16" male and female threads.

Many thanks Mate!

For cave diving I use two steel bailout bottles (85's or 108's) rigged in SM config. Both bottles have a QC6 male fitting that can be plumbed into my rebreather. My KISS has a QC6 female with a Y-splitter that feeds both the BOV and ADV. I only use that on-board 3L bottle for wing and suit inflation in the cave, the ADV and BOV are both driven by off-board gas. Even limiting that 3L bottle for wing and suit gas, I've come up close to empty on a couple of long dives with a lot of vertical relief in the cave (with depth changes from 180' to 30' back to 180').

I do something sorta similar. I have a male QC6 on my sidemounted bailouts, 45s, 85s, 130s - depending on the cave. Normally I just plug in the left one but I could plug in the right if I somehow lost the left bailout. The female QC6 side on my Meg goes to a splitter and then the ADV and my wing. My backmounted 2 or 3L cylinder (where dil would typically go) just feeds my suit. I want to split my wing and suit gas sources. I too have come up sparse in the past.

In open water (non cave so not lots of ups and downs) the dil reg has a male QC6 on it which plugs into the ADV/wing splitter. So I just take off my suit reg put on the dil reg with a gauge and make QC6 and the simple switch between cave mode and open water mode is basically done.

I don't use a BOV, I necklace a normal 2nd stage.
