EUDI 2008 Copis Meg pics

Anyone can tell what the deal is on that pic: 2 HUDS, 2 O2 inflator hoses (one in each CL).

isc sells a single cl kit that replaces the dual cl, to make it easier to accomadate a 2nd meg as a back up. so i would assume there is another meg back there. that being said i only seen one dsv and it would be pointless to run a bob on the same loop should your primary fail/flood. this is very intriguing. im sure someone that own's a meg would have a better idea. Or perhaps the guy diving it wants 2 of everything should there be a single point failuer???

Hello Philippe,

I think that you will find this very similar to what you saw at EUDI 2008-

(I hope it's ok to link back to my own thread- if not- I will be happy to delete the link)

The additional O2 inflator hose (optional) that you saw is most likely for O2 injection at depths beyond where the standard fixed IP O2 1st stage will function properly. I've seen this effectively done by either adding a redundant depth compensated 1st stage to a H-valve on the primary O2 cylinder or to a completely redundant O2 cylinder such as a small volume cylinder mounted to the can, BP, etc... or by way of a O2 stage bottle carried under the arm. The O2 reg is then attached to the MAV of choice via a standard inflator hose. My understanding is that this particular unit was built for operating at sub 200m. That would explain the reduncancy on O2 injection and the need for a radial scrubber.

Hope this helps!
