Options for BMCL for an Evolution?

RedSeaDiver · 22nd September 2007, 00:37

I'm looking seriously at getting an Evolution, but I want to go to BMCL's to get all of the stuff out of the way and leave room for the important things (cameras).

With Paul C not making any more of his (really neat) setups, whta are my other options to convert an Evolution to BMCL?

Beg, plea or steal a snog valve off of someone and throw some MSR bags between the plate and the wing.

That or just send me the unit and I'll send it back when done

...(sorry too many brewskies tonight)

There are some Paul C kits knocking around that, with the right encouragement

, could be on their way to you. Were you to PM me with an offer my unused one from the last batch could be yours very quickly....

I highly recommend purchasing one and getting used to it as designed to see if the front mounted counter lungs really turn out to be as big an issue for you as they seem now. I got used to them and frankly can't imagine having to deal with all of that on my back... having easy access to the O2 and dilluent add and OPV seems pretty key to me.

Make your own it is not difficult .Somewhere on here Michael Hern posted how he made a set of bmcl's. See here :- http://www.rebreatherworld.com/inspi...rear+wing+case

I have been diving bmcl's on my Vision /kt frame for the last 18months & would not switch back . John ,narked at 90 makes a very nice manual add modification for bmcl's as well.See here :-
