This looks like a stunning piece of engineering and judging by the comments, very well finished. I know Paul has reported on diving with this set up. Is there anybody else out there that would put a dive report together on the experience of diving this rig? Or is it still too new?
It may help to inspire other people to make a decision as to going BMCL or not. This independent report/test warts and all, will help to allay any fears of changing the YBOD set up and highlight any changes in WOB/Usability etc.

Best

Wow, I'm going on holiday more often

Thank you all for your confidence. I will catch up with this stuff first thing next week. The good news is I can now do a batch of 10 which helps keep the costs in line.

As per last time, payment is required up front so I can place orders etc.
Please PM your email address if it is not on your profile. I will be in touch to outline progress and programming.

Cheers
Paul Channing

Glad your doing 10. I want to take a look at Blanaids unit in the flesh and then I may well be up for ordering one myself.

I still have the kit in the garage

We have been getting the flat together to sell it, lots of decluttering, painting, new carpets, etc etc! lots of work and it was safer to keep everything together........ out of the way.
I'm afraid I didn't have the time before our Scapa trip to get everything together...........

When you are round this week Mark I can let you see it in the flesh .............& the BMCL set up

Just a quick note to those on the list, I am having computer issues at the moment so apologies for not getting in touch to confirm payments recieved.

For those who have not paid... nudge, nudge

...and please get in contact via PM. Outstanding payments are needed to place orders. Thank you (no pressure

).

Normal service will be resumed when I've sorted the blasted thing out.

Cheers
Paul

I recieved Pauls kit several weeks ago and it's a beautifull piece of work. It looks as though he put alot of time and effort into this project. His instructions are great. They take you through the process step by step. Now that I have my lid back from service, I'm hopeing to try it first in the pool this week and in the open water this weekend. I'll try to have some photos to acompany my report.
Thanks Paul for the work you put into this.

Thanks

l've ordered one of Pauls kits and was wondering how not having the option to plug in a bail out cylinder to use as semi-closed would effect the MOD 3 course?
