More info on the Sentinel??

Ah but the thing to note is that the website is registered to Nick Bushell who I believe wrote one of the log download programs for the VR3....

So it may not be an officially sanctioned website hence the reason it only appears to have the same info that is currently available elsewhere and has no new pricing details.

If you go to ccrb.co.uk and hit Sentinel Website you'll get to TechAtDepth.
So it's probably legit.

hmmm, been reading up on the sentinel sounds like a truly new eccr to come to market in awhile, short of the poseidon mk6 that is geared toward the recreational dive crowd.looking forward to the reports.

all the best.

Interesting, that's what it seemed to me to. But aside from the marketing brochure, what are really the innovations in the Sentinel.

It seems that a lot of them have to do with the electronics, the presence of intelligent built in checklists, the face that the PPO2 transition from surface (say 0.7) to bottom (say 1.0) is gradual.

What else is there ?

The "in the background" calibration of the cells in air seems to be different.
Inhale counterlung "on the side" of the breathing path.
Efficiency increase for an axial scrubber.
Building the ADV and solenoid shutoffs into the over-the-shoulder mounted off-board gas injection blocks is something that also appears a little different.
Having three levels of the same rebreather designed for difference types of diving.

None of these is likely earth shattering but put them all into the same package with a hopefully solid design and it might just be a good rebreather.

Scrubber life monitor: not just a temp stick but also a O2 metabolism calculator to give an idea about the produced CO2.

Just one. The electronics are much like the Ouroboros on the Level 2 and 3 units, very simplified on the Level 1 model.
