OMS's BC for Rebreather's...

blackvet · 25th September 2007, 23:23

When I dove OC I always had OMS BC and wings in many configurations. I loved thier stuff...bulletproof. When I ventured into Rebreather, starting with the Dolphin (aghhhhhhhh...) and finally ending up with an Inspo classic the same underlying thought kept creeping up...these BC's really suck...they could be so much better. I read on OMS's site they have a CCR BC on the horizon. I'm kinda excited by the idea. Does anyone have any info on this

Take a quick search through the archives and you should find a recent thread or two with some details.. (or lack there of if I remember correctly)

Me too, but black.

It's just a bit long for my Movie Meg, but the width is perfect.

The OMS website is displaying a wing that they are marketing as beings specifically designed for rebreathers. They call it the Tesseract Rebreather BC. I currently use a Dive Rite Nomad System on my Optima, but I previously always used OMS harnesses and wings when I did my open circuit deep diving. I never had any complaints about the OMS gear I used. I went with the Nomad system, because it has a soft backplate and the wing and backplate are connected together as one item. However, the added bottom buoyancy and dual widely spread dump and bc hose inflator on the OMS seem interesting. I wonder if it has a back/rear dump for when you are diving in the horizontal position? Here's the link to the OMS site that has a picture and discription of the Tessetact (OMS Buoyancy Control Systems ( BC's ) http://www.OMSdive.com).

It looks to me like OMS put the right shoulder dump valve there to get rid of gas on the right side since the cross channel at the top of the wing is very narrow. I wonder if it inflates and deflates symetrically or if most of the gas initially goes into the left side and eventually works it's way over to the right side??

I'll stick with my 32lb single wing.

Well if it's taking 6 months to get fins and harnesses from them... then I think my grandkids will love the new OMS bladder/CCR/Computer
