Good question. They didn't seem overly keen for me to slobber inside them at the Dive Show either.

that slobber is a added feature , like prebreathing the loop . Think of it as Lube to increase the wob

Is there any where/one where you could try out a FFM.

Anywhere ... yes. Ocean Technology Systems in Southern California.
Since they build comms for FFMs, helmets and DSVs they have pretty
much everything at their facility: K-M, AGA, Mantis, Scubapro, Dräger,
Poseidon, etc.

The only one I don't remember seeing there is the Widolf, but Divematics
is only about 1/2 hour away.

K-M and AGAs, and to a lesser extend the Scubapros are used bei PSD
teams, so you might check who does that locally. Over here it can be
either Lew Enforcent, Fire Departments or both. Commercial suppliers
usually also sell those manufacturers.

APD and CCR may have some, too. APD has had the Dräger in ads and
the K-M at shows.

Correct fitting of the mask is hugely important, the best mask is worthless
if it doesn't fit. For me the AGA and M48 work, the Scubapro doesn't.
Mantis might, could be a bit small, Widolf and Dräger should. Rest I don't know.

As an alternative to a FFM, check out the Manta-Bite mouthpiece(www.manta-bite.com). I have one on my Meg and on my OC deco regs...and to get the DSV/reg out of my mouth I have to pull it. If I relax my jaw completely, no water seeps in. It works well for me. I am still interested in the Kirby M48...but I will use the Manta-Bite until I can get my hands on an M48 to try firsthand.

Had a block made for my AGA with xtream regulator in it. Seems to work well and have OTS's coms in it SSB-2010. Only problem works with only one of my rebreathers, inspiration. Would like to have a block made with the interspiro regulator in it.

Hi All,

newbie alert:

I'm looking at FFM's for use with Rebreather, and have gone through the archives... and it's being discussed on the forums currently re. the supermask. I like the features of the supermask, but would like to know more on the issue of the RB pod being no longer available as a separate topic:

What modifications are necessary for adapting Rebreather to the OC pod or adapting the supermask to accept different RB model DSV's?

What features are negated by the loss of the Rebreather pod if you can adapt the OC pod to accept your DSV? Is the safety aspect comprimized?

Meg divers, do you have any feedback on FFM's used on/available for Megs?

For note, my meg comes at the end of the month, so I would be adapting it for use on that

Thanks in advance for your patience with my questions and any info,

-Jesse-

Have a look here at Johns stuff.

I've got one of these too. Quite nice in fact. Made by the guys at Interspiro, actually they are prototypes by Interspiro.
Thinking about letting mine go, with the comms.
