    Quick disconnect fittings

    This was exactly my thought too. I find much of my diving is suitable for a 20/20 mix & not wanting to blend every time I fill, I repurposed an old 12 ltr twinset as a bank. Swapping between the J & the DIN valve is easily sorted with the relatively cheap addition of one of these...

    When did you begin rebreather diving?

    I remember my first breather dive was on a Dolphin in the Red Sea in 2004. It took me another 10 years to get around to buying my own unit. Happy with my choice (JJ) but wish I'd done it sooner!

    Welcome to the new CCRX!

    I'm also liking the new look but would like to see the re-appearance of the poster's location under their avatar.

    Dräger safety mouthpiece

    Thanks for your replies. Sounds like in my ignorance I pulled it a bit tighter than I should. I'll try slackening the tension a wee bit next time out.

    Dräger safety mouthpiece

    Fitting one of these & got to dive it for the first time yesterday. Gotta say I really enjoyed the ease of use & generally comfortable feel it provides, however I noticed that venting the loop from the mouth on ascent was not easy & I ended up blowing out through my nose instead. Maybe I...

    where can I buy a new bladder

    It's my understanding that Jan does bladder service / replacement only via the factory. My guess is that you'll need to send it to JJ to get the work done there.

    Solenoid error

    Thanks for the update. I'll fire an email over to Shearwater with the diagnostic log. FWIW I've also only seen the error before diving too.

    Solenoid error

    Anyone else noticing solenoid error messages since updating to the solo v11 firmware? Never seen it before but noticed it a couple of times recently & wondering if it is related to the firmware.

    Shrimp BOV for JJ

    Well that didn't work out so good! In fact I made it very much worse, to the point of being completely unusable with obvious water getting in around the mouthpiece. I'll have another go, and check my work before I waste another day's diving...

    Shrimp BOV for JJ

    I've been suffering water ingress into my Shrimp that becomes noticeable after about 30 mins. The unit passed both pos & neg tests on all occasions. I came across a couple of possible suggestions that I've implemented but not been able to validate yet. I added a bit of self amalgamating tape...

    JJ head cover on the cheap

    I've been looking for a suitable head cover for my JJ & stumbled across this stack of mixing bowls at B&M Stores. The middle sized one is a perfect fit & even has a spout perfectly positioned to take the locking button on the head. They don't seem to be available online but the whole set was...

    How much to fill your own cylinders?

    I have one of the Stanstead booster pumps & am very pleased with its efficiency filling 3ltr cylinders. I do use out of test 15ltr cylinders to drive it but you could also run it from a paint compressor which wouldn't cost that much. If you buy new, you can spec it up with the right hoses &...

    Hi Danny that sounds like a great idea. Where are you doing your course? I did mine at Vobster & NDAC. Hamish.

    Hello from new JJ diver

    Hi, I'm a recently qualified JJ diver. Got caught up in the CE problems that JJ had migrating to the new DiveCAN model but probably got the first of the new units, delivered at the end of August. Not had it in the sea yet, but making regular visits to inland sites whenever I can find someone to...
