Advantages of Using the Extend Air Cartridge (Video)

**sfldiver** · 4th April 2008, 15:10

I took a quick glance at Dive Rite's online site, specifically their online Blog, and noticed a video clip that was posted on March 27th of a conversation between Lamar (Dive Rite) and Doug Mckenna (Micropore). The video addresses some of the advantages of the Extend Air Cartridge and why Dive Rite chose it for their rebreather. It's short, but I think it's definitely worth watching - Here's the link:

Hey I know the guy in that picture! He's the French guy who comes down to Florida when he wants to hang out with some cool divers and do some great diving! Lol!!

Look at you, getting all famous on us and becoming the new face of the Optima for Dive Rite - Awesome!

Well, if you get all famous on us, at least we can say that we knew when you were just an average joe! And we have pictures to prove it!!

Cangratulations!!!!

Dive Rite's new 'Wonder-Plate' harness - it lifts and separates ...

That's funny you should mention that Tony. We had this conversation at lunch immediately following the dive when we viewed some of the photos on my camera.

If I recall, I think our conclusion was that Erik may have inadvertantly failed to either buckle or tighten-up his crotch strap.

If more women dove, Victoria Secret would definitely sell a signature version of the Optima!

Yeah, I think I must have forgotten to buckle the v-strap. It's a little odd, I don't think it's happened before. But then again, you'll notice I forgot to brush my hair away from my mask the whole dive. And my dive buddy didn't tell me.

Maybe the other way around: If there were a Victoria's Secret Optima, more women would dive.
