yesterday 350m+ in Russel with new modified OPV had full loop flood and had to come out on OC.

Grain in OPV
btw RMV 35LPM

Is that a typo?

Mike,

I had a sorb grain stuck under my OPV of the Classic KISS during a dive trip in Italy. The solution was to cut a piece of white hydrophonic foam used in the MK-15, and secure it at the base of the OPV. Gas passes, solid stays...

Never had the same problem again after that...

Does a flood gives you a caustic cocktail?

membrane stopped coctail. all water expelled via opv loop recovered but wob a little high due to wet sorb - still scrubbed but easier to go oc as had plenty of gas. likely scr would have been possible. quite impresed with boris loop flood recovery - no coctail no water or even a gurgle after recovery. just stayed horizontl and flushed lungs to open opv flush water out.

i love my helmet more as a great place to put lights. especially when scootering in cave. long body gAVIN BLOCKS LIGHT from hand held HID when following line thats on right

plus when im inflating wing/suit on scooter descents it all doesnt go dark!

Hold your Goodman handle with your right thumb when you need to keep the light pointed straight ahead, and your left hand for something else.

Or switch the scooter handle over to left hand momentary while using right hand to inflate.

You have a turtle on your back getting a free ride, and it's not even helping you breathe.
