Inspo/Evo FFM

FathomsDown · 5th April 2005, 14:28

Has anyone heard anything more about the planned FFM for the Inspo/Evo? According to the AP web site it was due to be launched at the same time as the Evo but (what a surprise) there isn't any sign of it. Does anyone have any further news?

The FFM on APD's website is the Dräger Nova. It is already available from Dräger with adapted DSVs for their rebreathers (Dolphin, FGT, LAR V). If you can fit any of those to your hoses you could go that way. If you look in the gallery you'll find a picture of one with the FGT DSV fitted to Meg hoses. As well as pictures of the M-48 and Widolf DR-600.

The K-M M48 Supermask is readily available, the Rebreather adpater unfortunately is not.
A few people managed to get their hands on it, but it is almost impossible. You could however fit the stock DSV to the OC pod. It'll be less stable and lack the adjustable ratchet, but it has been done.

The latter solution also works with the Scubapro FFM.

Finally Divematics (link section, and 'shadow diver' here on the board) offers two solutions for rebreathers and FFMs. You can get an Interpiro Divator II (AGA) converted for FFM use, with or without OC bailout.

Or do what Rob Davie did, and get Divematics Widolf FFM (again with or without OC-integrated bailout reg in Divematics' DSV).

Thanks for the very useful information; certainly food for thought. The Widolf is a lovely piece of kit if rather pricey.
