A friend of mine who dives the Prism topaz wants a smaller lighter unit and is thinking about buying a KISS SPORT.
OK, most of you will not agree with this logic however, can you remove the BOV from the breathing loop mouthpiece?
Unlike the prior repsondant, who apparently assumed that you meant "can he replace the entire thing" (which *obviously* you can do), I assume that you really mean "Is it technically possible to remove the regulator from the existing BOV and re-use what remains as a simple DSV".
If that is your question, It can be done by making a fairly simple blanking plate out of Delrin and substituting that for the regulator assy.
"Why" he would want to do so is another discussion, but from a simple technical standpoint it can be done with ease.
