I have finally put some pics up of the "Harry-BOB" (much peverted former DDD with thanks to the makers!
). Look in the homebuild section of the gallery. I am not exactly sure what was intended for this Rebreather but this has been my approach to it: O2 added via G snap to side of main body. Diluent fed via APD QD with flow stop from sling tank. Triple PO2 monitor from Munro. Contains 2.4kg of sorb. Needs another 4kg of weight strapped to the base to stop it floating up into my right ear!
After 2 pool sessions (max depth a very respectable 8m) I have finally sorted out some WOB issues - the unit really needs to be exactly alongside your body or else it can be very difficult to breathe. Also the confinement of the CLs inside the body is a little restrictive (the CL volumes are fine in themselves). Final problem is that the ADV is too sensitive (hence the flow stop on the dil line).
Changing sorb etc is a bit fiddly but getting better with practise.
My intention is to extend my sidemount cave diving with this, and also to use as a bailout breather on long dives or dives >70m or so.
Look forward to seeing JDZ's "John-BOB" when it emerges from the lab!
