Paul C’s Inspo with back-mounted lungs.

pchanning · 18th February 2006, 12:24

Hi folks,

OK, so it’s that time of year, at least in good old blighty, where the diving season tails-off in the face of inclement weather, so I cracked-on with procuring a set of back-mounted lungs for my Inspiration.

A few details can be seen here

Please feel free to discuss or ask any questions.

regards

Paul's back mounted counterlungs for Inspiration can now be found HERE.

Thanks for the article mate

Right then chaps, please use this thread for any questions, queries or feedback.

Thanks

Lou

Just added the link to Paul's post.

Sorry Lou ... as you know, only John Wayne drew faster.

Thanks for the article, Paul.

Just read through the article, really like how you integrated the manual O2 add valve. Very well done, using factory bits gives it a factory look.

Do you have by any chance a pic or two with with the bp and/or CL removed?
Am curious that metal box looks like and ties in.

Paul,

A nice bit of work there on the O2 add, well done.

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.

Thank you. It also means replacement is easy - bespoke fittings would likely be expensive - it keeps it simple - why reinvent the wheel?

Basically, it's flat one side and fits a Custom Divers Backplate 'like a glove' on the other.

Hi Brent,

Thank you. I've dived the BM lungs for about 5/6 weeks - albeit without the o2 add, as that took a bit of time to sort out, and I havn't noticed a WOB issue. I'm not an expert, but it strikes me that the profile the lungs, being so close to my back/ top of the shoulders, is likely to be a key reason - IMHO of course.

Youre welcome to have a go if youre down this way - there are a few lined up already, but they might be there for a while - I dont want to give it up at the moment - you know what its like with a new toy.
