Yes,
Only, i have to figure out what is the best way to do this. As you know, the mouthpiece opening and the BOV body are machined from one piece.
We could make a new body with p-port and you would stuff the rest of your original BOV in it. That way you can always go back and it will be cheaper.
Now I just need to find a p-port somewhere.

Hi Jakub,

just so i get this correct. You're going to produce a BOV that will fit on a Meg, that will be able to fit into a Draeger CC Mask, and also be able to be used as a 'standard' BOV when diving without a FF Mask?

If so, you can put my name as first on the list!

How's the development coming on?

Yours, awaiting eagerly

Nick

Yes.
First five prototypes are being manufactured.
At this point we are planning them with the Trapezoid Thread as it is the most versatile BOV, but can accomodate either the Clamped (Meg) or Inspo thread versions on request.

I too am wondering about the Nova mask. Anybody using a Nova have a beard and experience diving in strong currents? It seems like these 2 factors could make keeping a good seal almost impossible, say when turning your head to the side in a stiff current.

And how is the mobility when turning your head side to side?

Thanks, -Andy
