Dive Talk Go Rebreather

In cave country? Where???

got me there

Not really, I was told 'around' what to expect out of the sidewinder when I took that training and my limit would really be the 2L O2 bottle, not the scrubber anyway (assuming new sorb/full bottle). I don't dive a revo and I do not want to turn this thread into a CCR bashing session, if that's where it's going, I'm out. If there is no 'rule' on scrubber consumables or any way to plan for it then fine, I'll just keep building up experience.

Funny, I would think judging your remaining scrubber on o2 consumption would be one of the best ways to monitor. For me, I feel they match quite well.

"Around" based on exactly what? An instructor's 5000 impossible hour experience?

That unit (and some other's) has zero objective WOB or duration testing. You can divide some made up duration by 3, but it's not anymore or less valid than someone diving their RMS 1/2 in 1/2 out.

You'd think, but those of us diving massively sawtoothy profiles definitely can't do this. I know my consumption rate (0.75 lpm) and run time, everything else is vented, roughly 1/2 of it

like some sort of BO J valve

If any DiveTalkGo team member is reading this post... Please add "proper BO reg storage" to the curriculum of your fine learning institution. Some pics in the Gallery are just too cringy to be used for marketing material. Btw, happens to the best of us once in a while, but I would not use the pic for advertisement.
