That's like saying buy an air-cooled beetle because it outsold other cars.
Sure the beetle drives. But that's about all it does ... .

I hadn't, but I like it. My first car was a 1303 convertible.

Drove it all around Europe, from the Riviera to the UK and loved it.

Why do you think I like the MK15.5? The little bend makes it fit right under the hood.

The Meg lungs are marginally smaller than the Inspiration lungs, the neoprene lungs even more so.

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.

which one has neoprene ? or is this an option aftermarket ? doesn't the neoprene increase buoyancy thereby increasing the amount of lead required ? the only neoprene cl's i've seen are dave thompsons were there is no manual dil button , are these the ones you are referring to ?
thanks

Hi Colin,

The neoprene lungs are for the meg and they are more buoyant, though marginally so as they are also less bulky.

Cheers,

Dave Cooper.

The Megs originally had neoprene counterlungs, which are still available as special order.
Smaller, flexible, and very streamlined.
More maintainance and occasional fixing of leaks.

More pics on page 2 of the Meg gallery.

Leon has neoprene counterlungs available for the meg as a special order (they used to be the standard lungs).. The definately have a much lower profile than the megs new counterlungs or the inspitaionlungs, but they do need more care.. I already ad to patch a leak (but its very easy with aquaseal!)

they normally have a manula add on each counterlung, with an opv and optional adv on the other counterlung..

I have leons lungs on my Rebreather (its a unique combination of parts), look at my profile pic.. I have my loop flow like used in an inspiration (not the meg),, you can see on my right is the manual oxygen add and adv (just below t-piece), on my left is the manual diluent add..

The opv is below the manual oxygen add (you cant really see it). As far as I know I am the only one he has sold meg counterlungs not for use on a meg.. the extra buoyancy is very minor....
