Mares Proton for KISS DSV

lizardland · 7th November 2007, 09:21

Anyone know the best place to get a Proton 2nd stage from in the UK?

I take it that the Proton octopus will work in the Mares KISS adapter?

Cheers,

Stuart

Bought my yellow plastic proton in my usual shop. I think i payed it around 70-80 euros.

It is slighty lighter than the metal proton, but it fits perfectely in the bov.

Hi Louis,

I'd been looking at that ad this morning but I was put off because in one part of it he says it's a Proton but further down he says it's a Rebel. I'd emailed him for confirmation but haven't had a response yet.

I take it then that it was OK and that it was definitely a Proton?

Cheers,

Stuart
