Wow - thats not very appealing at all. Prepacked presumably proprietary scrubber? Fully automatic (apparently no manual control of injection)? Bizarre tank valves?

Ill be at DEMA tomorrow, maybe it is more impressive in person, but at least based on what they say, it doesnt sound like something even a sport diver would want.

MMMmmmmm, I'm sure some people are going to love it, and it sure looks easy to dive and thats its aim, but personally, not for me. Two cells? Very small and light though.

I've had a quick scan. Honestly can't see what the hype is about, but I do really hope to stand corrected on that for Poseidon's sake. Right now, I'm breathing a sigh of relief that my wife isn't going to make me sell the Vision so that she can indulge her Swedishness by diving a Poseidon.

Cheers,

Yep, weight, volume and price are really interesting. That's it.

Also my first concern are the 2 cells.

Let's see what happen.

Hi

Over all it does not look bad for the price. Very interesting would be to know the price of these pre-packed scrubber canisters.

Also the notice on their web about the scrubber duration is a bit strange: "The canister always outlast the O2 tank. If you replace your canister when filling your O2 tank you will always be safe."

Did you see the size of the O2 tanks? 3L 100 bar, maybe is an error.
Personally I don't understand why to hide this project for so long anything special? I've got the idea about a CO2 detector or something like that.
Maybe on the leaflets there aren't the complete description...
Such a mistery...

2 cells? Prepacked scrubber? ships with 3l 100 bar o2 tank so when you refill you change the scrubber too(what does that mean anyway?) So sad... and its a Cis Lunar...
People who want to go to Rebreather and know nothing about the subject will love it though.
