Is there any reason why the mask could not be used with a BOV?

Does lead to quite an interesting decision for the uncommited since the mask and a BOV cost roughly the same. Do you go for a BOV or a mask and stick a second stage on the side?

The only reason a BOV can't be used with a FFM would be the lack of a connector for the two. As mentioned above, Divematics USA makes adapters for FFM and their BOV, I've seen the one for the AGA, M48 and Dräger masks. The latter is in the pics below.

Threaded ends for Rebreather hoses are available for most models, AP, Jetsam, Dräger, O2ptima etc.

Last but not least, you have the choice of 2nd stage as it's attached to the valve (rather than one regs internals in a custom housing). Prices are on Divematics website.
