Were the counterlungs done up right? They look well out of place in your photo.

It looks on the photo like the lungs are not pulled down AT ALL. They will be next to your head like that. No wonder it's like swiming in a box.

I had app. 40mins in a pool with a friends dolphin, and none of my previous issues we're present.

Boyancy was easy, since I didnt need to adjust two seperate airspaces, just the wing. Also total volume since i was in a tshirt, was probably less.

Hoses and mouthpiece much more comfotable, and probably adjusted correctly. I still found it a bit difficult to turn the head, and easiere to just roll when I wanted to look to the sides.

Operation of the DSV was more logical, IMVHO.
The breating was different on the Dolphin, had to suck a bit due to the BMCLs but otherwise it was nice.

So now CCR seems much more interesting again, though SCR is not an option.... That rEVO-II really looks sweet

Though I'm not in a hurry, and I heard a rumor about Posidon making one, and that the prototype would have been shown at copenhagen Diveshow, but was not available

Also perhaps the OpenRB will actually get something to market within 07/08...

So much reason to wait, so much reason not to.... We'll see

Thanks for the replies.
