New to CCR and I have a couple of questions

Shawn · 24th October 2007, 23:31

Hello all,

I'm obviously a new member. I have been tech diving and exploration diving for the last couple of years. About two years ago I decided to start doing homework on CCR's for the purpose of exploration. I found this site and have been using it ever since as a sort of reference in my buying decision. I will post some threads tonight because I have a few questions that you will more than likely be able to help me with.

On my invoice from ISC there are a few terms that I'm not familiar with if you wouldn't mind clearing up the fog a bit it would be appreciated.

STA - I assumed standard

ADV - Automatic Diluent Valve ( the only one I was 100% sure on)

MGB - ??

DIV - ??

thanks fpr the help

STA = single tank adapter
MGB = mixed gas bypass, the drysuit looking doo-hickie on your exhalation CL
DIV = Diluent isolation valve, the trombone valve on your ADV supply.

Welcome to Rebreather World and enjoy your new meg.

When you get your MEG CCR,install the STA,BP,then the CL, the one with the MGB,OPV and ADV on the left side. Don't forget to hook the hose with the DIV to the ADV. During Positive test close DSV and the OPV. Check PSI with SPG.

The wonderful world of abbreviation

Welcome to the Rebreather World.
