Guys, why just sanity breath? The OC components on the Golem are interspiro and Apeks and should perform the pretty much the same as (in my case anyway) a P-port Apeks reg surely?
I can understand using the goo 'ol paragon as a sanity breath only (although even then it's pretty marginal), but the Golem?
I briefly read the tests (the higgeldy piggeldy mixture of metric and imperialism is just too confusing - they should use one or the other) but if you or Dr Mike can help out with a bit of clarity on the exact issue re the OC bailout side of things I'd appreciate it..
Honestly I dont know, I only know that all the BOV Ive tried at real depth havent breathed as well as normal OC regs. (I havent tried Golem one, but Ive used one with same internals)
I dont know if its the fact normally in a BOV the diaphram is facing down and under the chin rather than facing forward in same axis with the mouth. I can say that on normal OC regs that orientation seams to effect wob (put OC reg in mouth and look forward and breathe or look down and breathe I have at times experienced change in WOB depending on 2nd stage (diaphram) orientation ...but that could be subjective.
I think in the case of this report they are reffering also to the WOB through the CC side of the BOV.
