New Drager Dolphin

[solodyver]

I just picked up my new Dolphin yesterday Early Xmas present.
My classes don't start till December so I won't be assembling the unit till then, However, I was looking at the breathing lungs and inside both of them there is a plastic spiral straw that is zip tied ( panduit ) to the inlets. I'm sure I will find out in class what these are ,but is there anyone that knows what these are for???

They go in the margarita ... there should be a lime in the box as well

Hi Ryan

When descending quickly in water with the unit, it can happen that there is not enough breathing gas in the loop, and the bladders collapse upon themselves. Because of the high humidity within the bladders, the maternal could stick together, disabling the addition of gas. The spirals are a safety feature which prevent this from happening.

Aside from being suprised that you actually got your hands on the rig without getting certified first I'm wondering: Did it come with the manual?

If not, the (soda)lime is not really for margaritas ...

The rig is new and it did include the manual. The unit was in the Drager container completely disassembled.
