Nice article,

Made me think of more things I wanted to ask, lol

2 Questions if I may,

Did the inhale bags come with both a single P port configuration, for the dosage device only and a double P port configuration, so that the oxygage could be added as an option?
Is the one pictured a single or double port bag? I could only see one, but the other side is hidden from view.

Is the heavier duty scrubber always identifiable by the red inlet (exhale) fitting and the extra volume around it for a water trap?

Am I correct in assuming that this would be the preferable scrubber to have?

Thanks again for another great article ....

Correct, the other P-port is on the back. I believe the port comes standard and you get a plug should you choose to not use an oxygauge. The atlantis canister has the pre-dive checklist on it. I am not sure why the 1 hr difference in scrubber rating. The thicker shell of the dolphin canister may provide better heat retention but hard to believe it's that much.
I actually prefer the atlantis one mainly because it fits in the shell better. Otherwise the later dolphin scrubber is better constuction.
As far as adding a p-port it takes about 5 minutes if you take your time.

Dave, do you specifically want an oxyguage or just a ppO2 guage for your dolphin??

Cheers, JDZ

I guess there was a crash of the Rebreather World server a while ago and some stuff was lost. I may be able to find the stuff and repost it. If I recall I had Stefan's help posting it. I will see what I can do.
