On watching the video, I noticed that one of the divers was also using a YBOD for this 125m dive with back mounted lungs!
Needles to say that I contact him and was very helpful and will send me some pics soon and said breathing wise was not a problem at all!!

Well spotted Pierre! Its difficult to make out what he's done - its all in the details after all. It would be good to see some photos.

hi dont know if you wil be down in the area at easter we have 4 days booked with wrighty might be able to save in postage costs, i look forward to seeing the whole package in action now to be honest

That sounds like some nice diving. If you can collect it I'd be happy to take you through the assembly - and maybe a dive or two! If edster is here too it might be the first Inspo clear chest 'Team' dive ever

PM me with details of the diving youre doing with Seeker - I may be able to sort something out.

Regards
Paul

errr.... promised to bring the media might be a bit strong! However, a camera with a self timer or a willing partner might be possible... what ever it takes in the cause of

I am happy to sign your copy of the video free of charge.

This is the BMCL on an inspo that I have posted about before.
I have dropped Pete an email or two asking if wanted to drop in and give an explanation and if he still dives his inspo this way.

When I saw it in the flesh, and from what I could tell, Pete had not made any mods he just moved them behind/on-the-side out of ther way. He could reach the manual adds and the rest was fine.

It is not a mod you do the day before 120m on the Niagarra so I pretty sure Pete was happy with WOB etc by then.

Hope that helps.

Hello everyone,

Right then, after redesigning the s.s box (which is much improved) and being in deliberations with various fabricators, I’ve managed to get comfortable on costs and am happy to proceed.

Those who have signed-up are listed below. I’m having one of the new ones too - so there’s one left..!!

1. Divegryl - PAID
2. Andy
3. Decowarrior
4. Brian Jarvis
5. Edster
6. diverklondike
7. divfoto
8. a friend
9. Paul C (cos I’m greedy)

10. ????????

Because the webbing slots for the harness are laser cut, I have to instruct the production of a batch of ten. Therefore I cannot present photos of the s.s. box as previously thought - apologies. For anyone else who is interested, I can forward a copy of the drawing and I am happy to discuss any issues over the telephone - please PM me.

Everyone above should have been emailed with details (if not let me know), Production will start soon! Thanks for hanging in there.

Regards
Paul

I have uploaded a copy of the s.s. box drawing in lieu of the anticipated photos.

Please go to the Gallery, click on the image, then again, and it'll be a legible size.

Regards
Paul
