Breathes extremely well, how heavy/bulky in the water depends on the oc reg attached.. My unit has a poseidon xtreme so it breathes perfectly in OCand very good breathing in CCR mode.. ..

Mr. Radomski...

have you dived the DSV or only the BOV, from Divematics.

I really appreciate the comparision!
Thanks!

I only dove the BOV, but the way it is designed its only an mounting plate difference.. The rest of the main BOV is the same.. He does have other DSvs, (older design) but not sure if he still makes those (the current one uses APD flapper valves) .. The one that most people purchase can be ordered set up fo DSV only and upgraded at a a later time (at least that is what I got from Tracy before I ordered my current one).. He does alot of changes and is constantly improving things so its best to ask.. But from what I can see, his build quality is tops..

My Mk15 has the analog, but I think that with the cooper hoses the DSV might actually be too heavy...

I did my first dive today with my PRISM DSV and new Herbert Cooper hoses, and did not think the DSV was too heavy after 200 minutes. Certainly, the Cooper hoses do not need the stainless rings that I had on my previous PRISM hoses.

No difference whatsoever because they ARE Boris hoses.
