The valves in the pics are the old ones, I hadn't fitted the new ones when I took them. I did this project partly for my college course and needed pics for the write up.

The lungs are just a flat design, it was simple for chris to make and suited the purpose to. Nice and simple. There are no inner bags, the lungs are drysuit membrane material and taped on the inside. There pretty strong. With the o2 addition system stuff and an OPV my lung volume is around 4.5 ltr's with the lungs in the case. Very close to my own. Ideally I could do with another longer bag to bring the volume up a little and give me a spare bag.

The scrubber inlet tube is a bit exposed and needs a guard of some sort. It got some marks during the cave dive and with a heavy whack it could be damaged.

I don't really want to lay the unit on its back either because of the pipes position.

I think the case alone weighs 5 kg, with a stainless plate and 1kg block I'm good to go, no belt which is lovely.

Going to have another dive with it this week hopefully

Hi, Can I point out the position of the cells? They all point down when the canister is lying correctly, I think you may be putting cell 1's readings at risk by allowing any moisture to pool on the cell face

, might be fine for a short dive but difficult for any duration or repetetive diving. Hope this is helpful.
