Sentinel BOV on a Meg

dodelineur · 19th June 2008, 16:32

Do you have an idea if it could be possible?
I am convinced bov is a great option, but don't want to sacrify the very comfortable and low wob original mouthpiece of my meg.
I have seen the sentinel BOV, wich seemed to be quite nice, your advice about that? Or an other good option to have the most possible same wob than with the original mouthpiece.

thanks

There are some rumors of an original (ISC made ) BOV to the Meg , maybe worth a wait?

Plus the fact that you cannot buy the BOV seperately, I have enquired!

I think you can soon, althought the sentinal is a screw fit i think not a clamp

And then, theoretical you must use a poseidon xstream first stage, who are very expensive. And then the spare parts are very expensiv. I speak with experince i dive 4 years a xstream. The prices for the service kits is exorbitant. I think a golemgear or a V4Tec is a good option.

I don´t know about Germany or other countrys but in Sweden Poseidon service kit is not more expensive than other brands, even thouh it have been a rumour for a long time. As a service tech in all major brands I also got to say that Poseidon regulators are, in mine opinion, more easy to service than most others, brands except Apeks.

Hi,

I confirm Poseidon service is about 20 % more expensive in Belgium than other regs....

mmmm If ISC is planning to release a BOV, then I would wait to see it before purchase an other one....

any more info about that?

Seems that lots of Meg divers are happy with the Golem BOV. I'm one of them.
Best

Yep you are right with the service, but here in germany the service kits for the poseidons are 30% - 40% more expensive than others. On the other site the pos regs rocks stabil....
