Re: Bad design of boris'sloop?

Absolutely agree!
Ok for diving locations and conditions problems.
Proper maintenance and cleaning are the key words, for every rebreather!
The 5 more minutes needed for OPV (or whatever else) checks are not really important but they could do the difference underwater.
Beside "take your time" I don't really know what else to say!

Best,

Fully agree. As I have mentioned if the loop is kept clean the OPV works fine.

Its not muck tolerant - but if theres no muck.......

I have not had a problem at all really before this event. It was the first dive with a brand new CL. I had assumed it would be clean - but some loose aqualseal was in it left over from the CL-OPV assembly I guess and thats what got into the OPV. After its removal and on subsequent dives the OPV was fine (the old design was fine too)
