After having read the thread I cant understand why you are even considering the Nemotech...Why discount the KISS dsv? Its a lovely piece of work, and Padowan did seem rather interested in mine on a recent dive trip

Yes.FWIW The reason I am asking for more information is that I have heard very positive reviews of the Nemotech elsewhere. My inclination is more towards the Divematics, but I wanted to get as much feedback as possible. I am discounting the KISS as I am far from a natural fettler, I don't want to have to play around with anything not designed to be on an Inspo. Adaptors fill me with fear....

And the Dive Life adapters couldn't be easier - new KISS DSV, strimmer cord out, old adapter out, new adapter in, strimmer cord in, screw onto the Inspiration hose (not even any strange screws to worry about) - voila!

|  Could some nice person please come up with some average prices for these things? £GBP would be cool but anything would do for a comparison... I would be interested in the KISS DSV prices including all bits needed to fit them to an Inspo. The Bob was about £360 new IIRC. I'm sure the divematics worked out at £450 before the extra tax and postage... The nemotech - that was around £400 I think? But, again there is import duty and postage, long delivery times etc etc. KISS= £? Homebuild?

Adaptors fill me with fear.... Helen, any DSV other than the stock one will need adaptors to fit the YBOD's hose connectors.I'm supposed to make some pictures for Divematics of their DSVs, FFMs and adapters and will post some once I have them. Divematics has made them for most units and can make them for any. As both Jetsam and Divematic DSVs will be shipped from outside the EC the Nemotech will probably have a price advantage in the UK. I've never seen one, but have seen both Jetsam and Divematics DSVs. Both companies have good reputations and good products. For me the Divematics would be the first choice, the Jetsam the second. The Nemotech would stay out of the loop due to location and reported communication/delivery problems. Then again, I live half an hour (or an hour and a half, depending on traffic  ) from Divematics.
