Could this be the first global standard for rebreathers??

Wholeheartedly agree- Rebreather World should definitely push for full disclosure from all Manufactures in this new arena.

Gill- Can you please publish full specifications for your test. Min/Max soup volume, ambient and soup tempratures, type of mask, HUD viewing distances and the correct beverage to drink with the soup afterwards!!!

I also think this thread and any subsequent results should be a "sticky" before considering Scrubber endurance and WOB I will now look to see if any new units specify that they are certified to the Pea Soup Viz HUD Standard.

Interesting claim with regard Shearwaters on KISS's- that assumes whoever told you knows exactly how many CK there are and how many CK Shearwaters have been sold... brave claim.

Yup, 340-350ish CK have been sold and approximately 1/2 as many CK Shearwaters. I know of 4 more that were added this weekend alone. The kidneys are getting a lot of interest.

Now I've almost had enough Bundy to think that maybe we need to test the Aussie version and see if the HUD will work while immersed in such a delicacy.

Bloody typical. . why cant people stop trying to frig with a perfectly good standard so that it makes their own inadequate equipment appear in a better light?

Ok this has gone on long enough. Shame on you George! Canned 'pea-soup'? Call that soup? Everyone knows that pea-wack should be made in a pan big enough to fit over your head. Any smaller, you're not making enough. There should be half a bacon pig floating in it as well as dumplings. The pan of pea-wack should last at least 5 days and by the weekend you should be able to cut a slice of soup.

Unless your test facility can fulfil such basic criteria, I think your results are basically flawed. Go away and test again!

ceebee, I have been put in my place. You should know though, that i tried to be true to form...if you look closely on the label, you will see it included bacon.

How far down the list was it, huh, George? How far down? Unless it's the whole rear end of a swine corpse with a trotter still attached, it don't count as 'bacon' in my book. Anyways. It's small print. You're not meant to be able to read that even if you can find your glasses....

I understand CeeBee is pretty good with a gin bottle. Might be worth getting an expert on board.

Hmm... Ceebs, rubber suit, "specialist" head-gear (see avatar), AND a gin-bottle....

CeeBee · 2nd April 2008, 16:22

No Neil. I never wear me mask when I make soup. The goggles fog up. Everything else was correct, though.
