Can you tell me something about your experience?


Ps.: sorry for the crazy question, it was early in the morning

Just a summary:

• Dived the Evo for more than 1 year.
• Max depth was ~90m in 22C water.
• Max duration (shallow) was 5-hour, I had Temp-Stick.

Sorry, just don't know what you are after...

If you are worried about the smaller scrubber and deeper dives, (based on my experience) don't.

I also had the longer scruuber (Insp Vision) and could have used it at anytime, but I didn't feed the need to.

The smaller scrubber allowed me to throw away less sorb if I want to change sorb more often as recommended by APD (i.e. per deep dive) yet I have never approached the max duration of the scrubber on the deep dives.

@decoweenie

thank you very much!

I'd like to order an Evo, and in future i will do some trimix (~90m) dives.
I thought the evo isn't for TX. (scrubber)
But now i know.

I suppose it is all depending on how long and deep your trimix dives going to be. Personally, I wouldn't think twice about doing 2 x 90m dives on the same scrubber.

But I dive in warm water. And I am a small to average size person.

For you in colder Austrian lakes, the duration won't be as long. And you could be a larger person as well. So you might need to change the sorb each dive depending on those conditions.
