BOV with MAV and/or ADV - thoughts?

And the shrimp has a complicated diaphragm (the OC part) with multiple little bits and places for leakage

Divesoft has a similar diaphragm setup. It's just the exhalation diaphragm embedded into the inhalation diaphragm

I'm just pointing out there are even more little fiddly bits in the OC side of a BOV that in a regular OC reg and that its a good idea to do an in water breath because of that

RB80 BOV = R190 but with a slightly smaller diaphragm. Simple as can be, even though it does look like a cub scout used a pocket knife to whittle it out of a chunk of delrin.

Not on the WKPP.

Halcyon offers it as an "upgrade" i think when you buy a new unit.

Oh for goodness sake of course I wet breathe the thing but I was hoping to avoid the “You’re gonna die” comments from the peanut gallery! Actually I purge it first and then take a breath in the water.

Don't forget you need to say “Let's get ready to rumble” after that breath to check the helium content.
