Hello my friend,

welcome to Rebreather World.

Guys and gals, the beautifully polished PRISM that I photographed for my article is Robert's, the last one finished here in CA.

Good to have you onboard, Robert.

Gday Rob
I have seen many photos of your PRISM, ita a dead sexy unit

One question off the bat, by how much have you cut down your hoses ?
I trimmed 5 loops of mine so far but yours are still looking shorter ?
You know what they say measure twice, cut once.

Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris
Thanks for the compliment, it was just lots of elbow grease I should get at least an extra knot of swimming speed

.
I don't remember the exact length in that pic but I just measured them at 14 inch(36cm) the length dues depend on how you adjust and wear your counter lungs and configure your rig. To long, jaw fatigue from buoyancy to short and you will have to helicopter to see what is next to you, plus if to short it will have a tendency to kink at the elbow. you could start out by bunching up the ribs in the hose while diving and have your Buddy measuring what works for you. as you said be conservative, and remember that as you get comfortable with the rig you will want to make changes. it never ends Good luck

Robert,

Welcome aboard. It's good to know that your Prism is an LA kinda unit. That explains why it's like, you know, rilly bling-bling!

Seriously, welcome aboard what we believe is the best resource and community for re-breather pilots on the face of the planet! I see you already know our very own

Actually, Rob, you met Robert at DEMA. We came by the booth and Robert had a look at Tracy's rig.

Thanks Rob

High Priest of the Prism, Stefan turned me on to this sight. Bling Bling sounds like Pete playing his guitar inTennessee

jokes aside it is good, there is a sample on SMI sight.
