I have an ongoing problem with the inspiration mouth piece ,I can't seem to get it to seal properly ,is this common when you start ? I spoke to Nicky at AP but the answer would seem to be a full face which they don't have yet (are there any others that are suitable with the inspo or evo ?) My instructor has given up asking to perform oc bail out skills because I've normally done it by the time he was going to ask me anyway ! Personally I'm getting to the stage of accepting a permanent gurgle for the duration of my course & then going back to oc as I'm that fedup with it .

Any idea's very gratefully recieved no matter how obvious it may seem to you .

TIA

Hi Colin

you mean you're unable to keep you mouth sealed around the DSV?
Not the DSV having a leak?

First thing I would try is a different bite piece, probably one moulded to your teeth.
If that fails a different DSV would be worth a try. If you have buddies with different
units see if you can take them for a spin. KISS, Meg, anything.

Finally, several FFMs can be adapted for the YBOD. Have a look in the Accessories and Parts gallery.
Divematics, AGA, Dräger/Apecks, Kirby-Morgan all have been fitted to Inspirations.
