So how was the show, any news?

The new rigs ... OMS? Greywolf? PRISM 2? MK-6 Discovery?

Current ones ... HH CCR back-mounted bags? Various Meg options?

Anything other than name tags ...

OMS... Did not display anything....

Greywolf... Was not there....

Prism 2 - Claimed that the first batch of new units was in process. Delivery in the next couple of months.

MK-6 - It was there...

HH CCR - Lots of activity at the JM/Golem Gear booth... Hence I did not get time to visit lots of other places. The following were on display... Classic Kiss with HH Seconday/Deco - HammerMeg Lots of people were looking at the HammerMeg and inquiring about ava. - Dual HH CCR

As far as the BMCLs for the HH CCR - Jakub had the latest prototype on display. (On the Dual HH CCR) A production version of it is in process so look for pictures of that shortly.

We also had a 6 inch EAC Cartridge at the HH/Golem Gear booth that is the size that it the one that is in testing for the HH CCR. The Optima currently uses a 5 inch.

Meg - Leon had both of the radials on display. Can anyone share any news that they may have heard from the meg booth. They would not talk to me...

There was a Boris and a Sentinal on display. It was a production version of the Sentinal.... BOY IS IT BIG!!!

In short there were lots of people very interested in talking about CCRs. More than I have ever seen before at BTS.

One of the coolest things at the show was the new Salvo LED Lights. I could not resist ordering one of the one that's equiv to a 21W HID. It has a variable output that will give you between 6-30 hours depending on the brightness you select. They were right next to our booth so the tempation was way to high!!

Dive Safe!

Jonny,

Here is a link to the Salvo site...

Salvo Diving Equipment - Rebel LED Lights

I recently bought a Salvo 21 watt HID. Their customer service etc is awesome. I do have this fear live everyone else that I will bang it against something and the bulb will go. That being said, my salvo 21 watt HID has been great.

The technology is just getting to the point were LEDs will start being the technology to go with. Salvo has actually stopped selling their 10 watt HID because their new 12 watt LED is brighter and a better value.

In the 21 watt area, the HID is a little brighter hence they are keeping it in the product line. I have decided that the 21W LED is the way to go due to the durability, brightness varability, head size and burn time options... When I spoke with Cory at the Salvo booth, he said that one of the things he did to test the light was to just let the light head bounce along on the limestone floor of one of the local caves while clipping along at a good pace on his scooter. None of us would obviously do this with an HID. As soon as we heard this my cave dive buddy "O.C. Diver" on this list, looked at one another and said.... "We will take two"... I am happy to trade off the slight loss of brightness that the 21 Watt HID has for the rest of the benifits. As soon as my new LED shows up I will be selling my HID.

Hope that helps...

Mark

Maybe the new Cataract CCR, you just couldn't see it ...

Kind of a bummer, that unit looked interesting in previous show pics.

Prism 2 - ... first batch of new units was in process. Delivery in the next couple of months

Still TN made then.

Did anyone get any news on this? About the materials (mostly the yellow composite)?

Classic Kiss with HH Seconday/Deco

Neat.

That I will, am looking forward to it.

Any word from the Microporians as to the duration of the 6" cartridge vs the 5"?

Which reminds me, one of you guys who have the Ouroboros and ordered the Sentinel, some side-by-side pics would be nice.

Did the BOV change from that medieval-sized prototype?

Thanks Mark.
