Many people are reluctant to give such advice since everyone has differences in physical shape etc. I use 60/90 unless doing deep or very long dives and then I use 60/80. I am about to go more conservative (60/80 and 60/70) since I am getting older and do not wish to get bent again.

The Choptima has a few things about it that bothered me but that some other chest mounts do not have. The overall size is bigger than most and the upper shape does cause some difficultly with access to things like inflator for wing and drysuit. I found the solenoid to be a real nuisance...

Very very simplified, but yes that would be correct. At rest, one does not metabolize O2 near as quickly and when shallow the gas is not near as dense. Both of these make a huge difference in scrubber duration. This is the reason that using medical grade sorb (like the hospitals use) can very...

This is extremely simplified and only one aspect of it. Doing deep dives generally have a shorter bottom time where the scrubber is really limited per the manufacturers recommendation has it set, and the largest majority of the dive is spent on deco at much shallower depths with little to no...

I do not have any experience with the fxccr but do currently dive a Choptima. I moved to it from a rEvo back mount RB. The breathing resistance is just the opposite as it is easier to breathe in and more difficult to breathe out, but no more so than in a back mounted unit. Your chest is no...

The only spare loop parts I carried were mushroom valves, o-rings, and 1 loop hose.

Set your rig up with proper sidemount connections. Use bungee for the top of the tank and a clip at the bottom f the tank. Shorten the bungee as needed to bring the top the tank higher and either shorten the clip leash or clip it higher to bring the bottom of the tank up

Thanks for having the guts to post about your mistakes. I am always happy to know that people, besides myself, are willing to share these stories so others might learn from them.

Everything sold

Little late to this party BUT here goes anyway. It can be extremely difficult to find a neg failure if it is rather small. I found the best way was to insert pieces of paper towel all through put the unit, pull a healthy negative, and submerge it for several minutes. The wet paper towel will...

o-ring did not work for me

Yeah, learned that lesson the hard way after custom making my BOBs ADV using and Apek reg for internals and such. I finally machined out the case a tad bit so a Dive Rite diaphragm would fit. The ridge or lip was slightly wider and would not fit the Apek groove. I will be following to see if...

Hammerhead rebreather parts for sale. This is a rev D with a hobo can setup. Price will depend on how yo want it configured since I have a ton of parts. We can discuss scrubbers, tanks, hoses, counterlungs etc. Selling as parts only and not a ready to dive unit. Electronics turn on, show a cell...

I have to work at it but getting to pockets is fairly easy once I figured it out. I just tuck my elbow down my side and use it to raise the BO tank up and then move my hand to the pocket. My arm holds the tank up and off the pocket so I can get goodies in or out of it. I can go completely out...
