Hey
Anyone out there care to take a shot at outlining the exact differences between a Dolphin and the older Atlantis and are the parts interchangeable? If not which ones are not. I only dive Dolphin and have never encounter an Atlantis but notice someone is trying to sell some Atlantis parts which I do not know whether I should buy as backup parts for my dolphin. Thanks a million.
The fittings on the counterlungs where they go throught the shell are very heavy chromed brass in the Atlantis as opposed to plastic on the Dolphin. You can use Dolphin breathing hoses with original Atlantis counterlung connectors.
The inhalation bag on the Atlantis does not come standard with a spare p-connector for an Oxygauge. You have to cut a hole and install one yourself if you want that. I think when the Atlantis was made by Uwatec the intention was for you to use the Aladin Air Z O2 with sensors in the breathing hose, not in the counterlung.
The male part of the p-connectors between the Atlantis scrubber and breating bags attach to the scrubber by o-ring and screw thread on the connector's body.
On a Dolphin the male part of the p-connectors between the Dolphin scrubber and breating bags attach to the scrubber by o-ring and retaining screws.
This difference in the scrubbers is important when contemplating injecting oxygen at the point between the exhalation bag and where the gas enters the scrubber because you have to specficy what scrubber you have to Tecme or whoever makes those when you order that part!!!
