Hi Seb,

pretty much agree with everything you listed. About the HUD, do you think it'll be easier to see than Orange? Do you have any experience with a HUD with a blue light on another rebreather?

Cheers

Hey Cedric

I have had two pool dives on Kevin's Ouroboros. The HUD is a 4 light design using blue, green, white and red.

I found the blue easier to distinguish from the green than the orange, even in a shallow pool in bright sunlight.

Cheers

The handsets to be less bulky, about half the thickness would be nice. Basically a lower profile.

Another vote for the Primary Handset on the right- easier for me reeling off with a torch in that hand plus wing being operated by left.
I assumed a gauge mode would have been a selectable option for any unit with onboard deco but if not one of those please.
Could there be a/the bottom timer function on the secondary (couldn't be that hard could it?) - So if primary is lost AND my VR3 packs in I don't have to remember a watch?
User selectable alg.- At least one other option than DCAP.- GF would be nice
Move the disconnect of O2 to Solenoid down to the level of the counterlung where I can see it- (well seeing as I'm getting a new head!)

ISC will mount the handsets with the primary on the right as a custom option for no extra charge, at least they used to. They also turned the cable mounting on the head for my scondary so that it faces the right as I have both my handsets coming off the that side.

Cheers

Just make it look and work like the Vision system handset.

You are kidding aren't you, if Leon puts any kind of noise making device on the Apecs 3 thats an instant deal killer for me.

Mate almost every dive I go on with AP units results in those ****ing things going off and annying the crap out of me, last thing I want is one even closer to my head.

Cheers
