I agree, it's a well designed unit. Canister options are perfect and easy to fill. Great fun diving it.

Very much so

I turned mine from axial on EAC to radial outwards on sofno. Never any dramas to this day, just slightly higher moisture in loop as you would think.

Good call. Wouldn't' you also tend to "roll" as all the weight is one sided ? Asking because I've never tried it. Always kept my weight / tanks spread either side. Happy with the BOV? Gruss Alex

My experience- there is very little bang for the buck. Having said that, I made the mistake of buying it so no one else to blame

I agree, SPG drop easy to do. part of pre- dive check for me, takes a few seconds and you know.

Is your re- packable still axial flow? I can understand the manufacturers concerns about people doing modifications to units. But , as in my case and possibly so many other divers are in the same boat, units arrive with faults in 'em - then I have to do something about it. Whether someone Is...

Hi Uwe, Congrats on the purchase, fine piece of gear. I own two Shrimps with no let down so far. I agree with Stephane, plug/ unplug underwater is a no go for me, contamination issues. You can add check valves to stop that happening but you do not eliminate the human error factor as in...

Hey DSix36, You also fingered around with re-packable for Optima? Done the same, works well Also agree with WOB comment, Optima is a bit behind rEvo

Fully agree. Started off with RevC setup no real dramas, then Rev D with same issues as Uwe. Took them off, threw them into a box, bought Petrel Ext. and NERD 250 hours since and all trouble free dives. No more to say

I had a lot of problems on my Optima with current limiting. Found O2 flush at start/ end of dive a waste of gas. Current limiting / wrong readings progress throughout the dive not at the start( apart from having overdue old shitty sensors in your unit) If I suspect messy behavior of the...

Good to hear( just ordered a HH) Well, few dives ago I almost went hyperoxic ( got close anyway) All 3 sensors did exactly the same, a quick spike on O2 injection( manual) and straight down to about 0.9-1.0 ( set point 1.2) I believe there's a bug somewhere in my unit. Certain that sensors are...

Coax any better?

Paul, Yep I've seen it. Wouldn't say it's common practice

Nice work. How did it go?

Hejo

Nothing fancy at all, mask straps, new reals - that's it. Poor Santa would be on stress leave otherwise

Nice one, Any dramas wiring it up? I assume Rev D is running the HUD!? Sharkjaw

I would say the majority of CCR divers have their supply to the BOV hooked up with quick connection on the actual BOV. Now, I reversed the set up with permanent connection on BOV and quick disconnect on 1. Stage bailout via Miflex. I found it to be heaps better as the hose can be routed and...

Hi John, I had the same issue on my Optima - on maintenance they broke. It's probably not what you want to hear but I replaced the original tee's with golem tee's which don't have those in 'em. All I need now is hose clamps. What unit do you dive? If Optima I can help you with those as I got...
