Paul C’s Inspo with back-mounted lungs.

Juz · 19th February 2006, 22:10

Well now, I've just spent some time playing with this little beastie and I'm very very impressed.

It REALLY is back to the goold old OC days of a clear and uncluttered chest area.

The O2 manual add is a very well thought out and extremely elegant solve to the problem.

I think Paul has worked hard (along with John) to provide a mod to make the inspo back up there as the 'best of all things' rebreather.

I have to say having looked at the build quality (wanted to be a precision engineer before I discovered how dirty my hands got, so went for nursing instead!), trying on the unit and playing with it out of the water then talking with Paul about how things worked, I am very happy to become customer # 1!
Can't wait!
It is a really slick piece of kit, and I look forward to getting my chest back!

Blimey on my first ward as a Student Nurse, I was told by the Sister..
"You cannot call yourself a proper Nurse until you've had SH*T under your fingernails..."
Cannot thing of anything dirtier...
and Yes - I am a proper Nurse...

Thanks guys

I'll happily take you through the unit as I appreciate this 'virtual world' falls somewhat short of conveying 'the real deal'.

Anytime you can get down to Plymouth i'll do my best to meet you, if thats on a boat, then so much the better

Let me know. Cheers.

regards

So if I had a DT box which I hacked a backplate around to fit... is there any dependency on the yellow box being in place?

The backplate should just fit, no hacking required.
