Hoses for Homebuilt

Caves&Bunnies · 14th February 2007, 16:37

Hi Guys,

I currently dive a meg. I use it solely in fresh water. Since most of my diving is caves and springs, I never planned on using it in salt water.

I know that I can use the meg in Salt water, wash it off etc... I just choose not to.

Therefore I was planning on building a "Homebuilt" rebreather, with similar size / specs as my meg, for use in Salt water and in really crappy work (cleaning off boat bottoms, inspecting sea walls etc...).

My question is this.. What hoses and DSV and T water traps are you homebuilders using for your rebreathers? I know that I can get a set of hoses from Leon, but I would like something that I can replace locally. I would also like my hoses a little shorter (maybe 19").

Any help would be great. I'd rather not get my meg all mucky with canal crud.

Thanks

Cheers

Mike

Ray hoses and DSV's - dirt cheap from Water Safety Net, Tecme or wherever.

Is there a us supply for ray hoses?

All of the suppliers listed will ship internationally. Water Safety Net has great sutomer service as well. It's not worth your time to deal with US suppliers. I could tell you stories about dealing with Aqualung. Not worth your time...

YMMV
