Golum Radial durations/depths

tecdivertraining · 3rd September 2007, 01:35

Hi All

I am interested to get some feedback from users diving the golem radial scrubber. I received mine last week and after admiring its excellent build quality it was time to put it to the test. I have been diving it the past week for a total of 7 hrs without any problem but only shallow (30-50m) and would be interested to here what durations and to what depths this scrubber has been used.

Thanks in advance for your comments

Same as you Mathew, but up to 8 hours still feeling fine, working at shallow depth for final couple hours or so. Using Spherasorb.

The feature I like most is the improved WOB on the deeper diving (for me that's only 55-60m).

I have about 50 hours on mine; generally run about 8 hours on Sofnolime 8-12 and find that the purple is about 60% of the way through (although its harder to judge on the radial...) Depths generally 130-165 ft, and I don't try to keep the last couple of hours shallower (I did at first, but now I feel that at 8 hours it still has lots of reserve.)

Hi Giles thanks for your feedback. I noticed the WOB was improved on the first dive I made its quite an improvment. I will be running it with the 4th cell on the neoprene lungs this week should be nice and warm on my longer dives.

Cheers

Hi Matt,
i have had mine for about a year now and it has worked great. I run around 8 hrs with 797 grade lime on depths down to 40m ish. It has been to 150 a couple of times with a total in water time of 4 hrs and no issues. If i am diving deeper 40 - 70m i cut the time a bit. I did feel a bit uncomfortable at 70m with 5 hrs on the scrubber, so i cut the time down for those depths.
All this is in warm water.

Enjoy it.

Regards
Aaron.

Hi Aaron

Hope your well. Thanks for your feedback.

I paln to hit the caves here this week and maybe one around 130m so this should give me a better idea of how it works. I am planning a dive in the infomous Sra Keow for January to 200m ish.

Cheers

And we want to see the picture of the computer screen showing max depth afterward, young man...

Isn't it much easier just to use Photoshop
