Convert Dolphin to CCR

kriptap

There is supposed to be a kit from Kiss that will allow you to upgrade the Dolphin to CCR, does anyone know where I can get this?

Kriptap,
The part your talking about is available from Jetsam, but the conversion involves a little more than "a single bit". You'll need to source/manufacture other parts and modify some of the Dolphin parts.

I dont mean to sound negative, but if you don't know what other work is involved, you'll need to do a lot of research. You'll also need to be handy with tools/get bits made.
If your not in the position of being handy in a machine shop and having the requesite knowledge, it would probably make more financial sense (and be less dangerous) to sell the Dolphin, buy a SportKISS ($4000 US+ backplate wing and harness)and do Mod 1(or equiv) on it.

Good Luck with whatever you decide to do.

There are several threads as well as articles on this website on that subject, and links in the Dräger/Jetsam/Homebuild section. They'll show different optons and sources.

I converted my dolphin from scr to ccr originally with some bits from Bob Howell.
I then moved on to a Swagelock needle valve with a manual inflator to add extra o2, and finally bought a kiss valve.

follow the link.

You will need a filter from swagelock, and some hose ends (not rocket science)

I understand that Jetsam now require proof of certification before they will sell any bits, though this is worth checking out.

Hope this helps.

ps I am now diving an inspiration though I did have some happy times making the things work.

Jetsam currently do sell KISS valves to homebuilders, it's only if you buy a unit from them you'll need to have a cert.
(I bought a KISS valve off them recently, it took a while but it wasn't dificult).
