Vee-cam was pure sex but £800+ for a waterproof Ipod video and a pin-hole camera- ouch, having said that- I would. MPEG4 output apparently and looked plenty good on the 40odd inch screen their video was showing on... Will be interesting to see the production spec
Sentinal was CONSIDERABLE sorted compared to the dreadful state shown at the recent military show, very nicely put together. the scrubber takes the exhaled gas down through the bed first then the warm post scrub gas goes up the outside insulating it, one of the reasons for the performance apparently.
The Rebreather Comparison chart was laminated and my camera was unhappy photographing it, needless to say the Sentinal came out Very well... some other units considerably less so, hmm....
I guess the most interesting thing I saw was the DiveTrack device BSAC are helping to promote after running a competiton to develope it along with Penny Glovers estate. It has now been tested an found to perform well, now its going to be shrunk and made mass produceable. I can see alot of clubs and Charter boats buying this system.
Martin Parker had a pre-production prototype of the much anticipated AP BOV, due out Q2 '08 apparently, meets WOB requirements down to 75mtrs on air!!!
Rebreather World stand was very neat, easily spotted by the Great Wall of Sofnolime, stopped their to rest my feet on the stools- why was this the only stand at the show with chairs? Great thinking Guys!
Had a demo of the Cell-Checker, very neat and beautifully assembled.

Forgot to add- Sentinal BOV is as smooth as a babies bum to turn, "one finger" doesn't do it justice, its SUPER SMOOTH, so smooth I wonder if its couldn't get knocked around. I also noticed that the dump on the bottom of the scrubber has a air hose connecting it to somewhere higher up (CL perhaps) so you can dump at any angle just the same once the OPV is set (does this aid water dumping?)
