I was told by a reliable source that Dive Rite does not endorse the Golem BOV, or any current BOV on the market for that matter, due to what they call tested inadequate WOB on their unit.

I think the thing here is what Mike is saying: Sanity breath and then offboard regulator.

Does Golem supply any of their own test data? I haven't seen any, but I doubt they recommend staying on the BOV through to the surface. Is the WOB bad enough to make it unsafe for a few breaths? Doubt it, but after a CO2 hit, maybe?

Mike, do you use the nasal sanity breath off your Drager, or are you using some other DSV integrated BOV? I'm getting ready to make the Drager purchase, and I had thought about putting the Golem on the loop as well.
