new BOV

divetheworld · 17th April 2008, 21:04

Dave,

Thanks for the pre-release units. Its real sweet and breathes very well. We have tried them in OC mode at 55m and had no worries. CC mode is superb WOB due to the internal dimentions being the same as the original OEM DSV.
Light as a feather, breathes well.

You switch by twisting the mouthpeice in exactly the same way as the original APD DSV. This closes the loop from the mouthpeice and opens an airway to the second stage valve and exhaust.

Go on, give us a clue. I've no idea how they work.

I notice from your avtar you dive an rEvo which is fitted with a drager ray style mouthpiece right? If I am right then this BOV works the same way except instead of a lever in the middle you just grasp one of the side nuts and turn!

any date for availabiliy ?

Sooooo what would it cost to get this to fit to a Drager FFM (a P-port attachment).

Looks the way to go !

regards Baz

Hi Dave, thanks for the post. It looks very well made, but a bit bigger than the AP BOV prototype, which also has a front mounted diaphram.

1-Any idea how it compares to the AP prototype, size wise?

2-What's to prevent a free-flow when swimming into a current or scootering?

3-Is there any adjustment to the reg to detune it?

Hi Andy
not really seen the AP one but this BOV is quite small

nothing except a shutoff if you fit one

yes you can detune it like any second stage

Pretty good stuf at only £500 + delivery

Size comparison.
