Did Sir contact jetsam and ask for the replacement O ring for the known O ring problem with the KISS DSV?

the best time to catch Tracy is in the afternoon or early evening. And i know that he has been having some family issues, that was what probably took him away for awhile. tracies bov works great for me. and i like the fact of the easy swap to a ffm for about three hundred.

Hi Paul,

Have you got the DSV wet in the meantime? How was it?

Cheers,

Hi Phil

I had a 2 hours underwater at Vobster with it a couple of weeks ago. The 1st 15 minutes or so were a bit uncomfortable, but I think that was due to the mouthpiece (which I am changing for a manta bite). A bit of fiddling with the hoses and I was soon ok.
A few switching drills (cc to oc & cc to external bailout) got me pretty confident with it.

Definitely happy that I got it even if it did dent my wallet.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the feedback. It looks like I've bought a KISS BOV secondhand, so I'll give that a try first. The Divematics will be my fallback if I don't get on with the KISS.

Cheers,
