Flying to Utila with rEvo Mini

[stuartv]

if you look at the spec sheet the mesh size is listed on label 1-2.5mm,very few people carry it though when i did my explorer training we got it in sealed bags with logo and diving art, easy packing in luggage( maybe that was a hollis product discontinued)

Please forgive my ignorance. Is 1-2.5mm the same as 8-12 mesh?

That looks cool - if there was a way to put a factory-style seal on it after refilling it. Paying the same price as a 20kg, for that much, and then not being able to re-use the jug would not sit well with my wallet.

In the states if you go in with a bunch of friends you can usually get sorb for $120-125 a keg (including shipping) if you buy a whole pallet. And have it delivered to someplace with a commercial loading dock.

That's what us Puget sounders do.

Same price at SubGravity but they have free shipping. Shipping costs make a difference. But I don't know about shipping across the boarder. $150 sitting on my door step.

LOL thats a little excessive!, seems like a great idea though. I am looking for the 4L packaging so i can try to trouble shoot this Hollis Explorer of mine in the pool, before I have a keg sit there for a year while i wait for service kit, parts. Warm Water etc.

I will for sure.

Custom Divers got back to me and said it was too expensive to ship sorb to the US. 115 pound sterling to do so plus the cost of sorb at 31 pound sterling

I figured it would work out like that. Bummer.
