That Viper is not mine, it's from the Carleton web-sire. I'll see if I can get the guys in the navy to send some photos and parts of the manual.

I'm not sure how many current or ex- Spec. Ops, Spec. Warf.or other types of Combat Divers are members of this Rebreather World forum...several I know. Maybe we ought to take a poll..(no wannabees please ;-)

Stu: How about a stickie to take a poll ??

The Viper is a great piece of equipment, but just a tad OTT for the civilian market with the current specs, but definitely a nice Rebreather if it did'nt have to come in non-magnetic alloys. Just the "balls" cost about $10 000 each... Insane price tag...

But it is a dream to dive with, perfectly balanced, extremely low drag, and it's pretty light weight, you can carry it with you quite a distance if necessary(been there, done that). Really like the chest mounted counterlungs with weight puches, but is it really wrong according to EU regulations to have chest mounted CL?

Had about 100 dives with this one, the SC that is, and if it was a civilian version of it, it should'nt be that expensive, really simple construction, and it is meant to be easy to maintain wherever you are. No parts you can't fix yourself at all, pretty nice setup.

Any other popular Rebreather's with chest mountd CLs?

Have you picts? What kind of sonic nozzle and reducer?
Thanks
Fabio
