Re: Camelion test dive

Quote:
Couple of questions if I may:
How deep do you consider deep air diving as quoted?
Do you have any close up pics of the counterlungs as fitted?
Obviously the electronics are a rebadged Deep Pursuit, was it fitted with the HUD and how sturdy (well sealed) was/is the electronics area where the cells plug in?
What are the modifications being done to improve the unit?
Hi Brad,
The unit was taken to -63m in a quarry having tmx bail out and a watch dog on tmx ccr next to it.The hard way to find out but breathing test machines are expensive....
In the Red Sea we did about 45' constant at aprox -42m
There was no HUD and the electronic area is waterproof sealed, completely separated.
Please don't ask me more detailed pictures about the inside yet as there are other manufactures REALY interested to see that.
The modification is to make an air passage wider, this was not possible on the test model as the machine was not available to do so at that moment.
Next test will be taking it to -100m on tmx what will be actually less stressing then the deep air stuff
This is about the best pic for now
