Dive Rite Express has posted the O2ptima Manual Rev. 1.1 on their website.
It's a 5 MB .pdf, the Hammerhead part of it authored by Joe Radomski.

http://www.diveriteexpress.com/rebreathers/optima.shtml

While they were at it they changed configuration/pricing again.
The unit now sells without the tanks (,BCD, consumables) and
either AL13 or LP27 are optional.

They also added what looks like a complete pricelist for replacement
parts,

Price for the trimix PIN# is now a whopping $500 ... someone's been
taking a page out of the DeltaP playbook.

Thanks for sharing,
Gabriele

Not only is the manual out but last Friday we had 4 of them 3 production and my prototype on the same boat together. It was my first dive with the new ADV and it worked like a dream. Maintained Minium loop perfectly so I ran it the whole dive just to give it a good checkout.

John,
I'll be down there the third week in Jan. and would like to hook up with you and the Optima. Figure since I have a card I may as well try diving the thing!

Hi Joe,

how are you going with the new HammerHead manual? has it been published yet?

Cheers Damon

Hi Damon,

I am about 75% done with the HH manual.. Its been a major rewrite.. Lots of new information and suggestions.. The version in the optima manual is over 2 years old and was hacked up.. There are alot of small things that people may not be aware of...

Like the BS-O-Meter, The information is only updated when the unit goes to sleep, so If you do a dive and pull the batteries before the unit shuts down by itself your depth (if now a new deepest depth), and total time wount be updated..

I hope to have it completed by next week.. Then off To JM who will review it and post on his site for d/l... It will be sent to Farallon to paste into the Optima manual..
