Hi all,

Has anybody already tried this BOV on a meg?

I had an oppertunity to take a close look at it this weekend at the BTS show in the US. It's a nice looking piece of kit. It can be ordered to either fit an inspiration or a meg.

Based on the APEKS guts and Interspiro diaphram it should do reasonably well at depth.

I am seriously considering one.

Me too as it looks nice.

But is it just me or the price is higher than the rest ?

Jetsam is US$675, Divematics is $750-800, Nemotech is US$700 (when you can get them delivered) and I think the rest is in the US$700'ish range.

IMHO, if someone could produce a BOV in the US$500-600 range with quick reliable delivery, they will make a lot of $$$.

Jetsam started to head that way with their molded BOV, but with Gordon gone, I don't know when Jetsam will complete that project.

Agreed on all points!!

I am also looking at the Golem BOV. Just waiting for some more information from Jakub.

I spoke with Kim at BTS & she said the hold-up was in settling the estate - she can't produce or sell any new items until that's done.
