HI all last week i got a used inspiration and now doing my mod-1,when i got it the di/o2 hose and contents gauges where on the out side of the counter lungs and it fitted great ( not tight around my neck ) and now on mod-1 my instructor has told me to run them on the inside of the counter lungs making it tight around my neck so whats the best or right way to do it?

also it will not hold a pos/neg pressure test and my instructor say it never will with the ADV fitted is that right? ( inspiration 9 months old )

I say it is up to you which ones you want to run on the inside. On my unit the HP-gaugehoses are on the inner side and LP-hoses on the outer side.

The adv will leak if you do not have a flow stop fitted. With flow stop you can do a proper neg. andpos.

Ditto on the config. With the ADV fitted and the Flow stop engaged I am able to do both pos and neg tests without a problem. (PS my unit is 4 months old)

Same here on the config and if you don't have a Flow Stop you can always keep the diluent bottle closed prior to the test so that ADV cannot operate.

Hi Gary,

Good luck with your MOD 1 course, discuss the fact you find the hose's feel tight when fitted on the inside and see how they can be routed more comfortably.

Your Instructor will have a look at this with you and sort it out remember he is not an obstacle to get around rather a mentor who is sharing his experience to give you the basic knowledge and also the confidence to use your Inspiration safely.

Positive and Negative loop checks are a fundamental part of the Inspiration Pre-Dive check routine and must be done before every dive, I do not believe there is an instructor out there who would not know how to do this blindfolded.

Regards

Why not fix it ? They are not that complex and are quite useful.
