Submatix BOV for mCCR

SBOD · 17th March 2008, 21:44

Does anyone use the Submatix BOV (not FFM)?

If so, do you use the BOV with the 2L dil / normoxic trimix, or your bail-out cylinder?

Helpfull comments or thoughts appreciated please,

Thanks.

I dive a submatix mCCR, and I'm in the process of fitting a bov to it. I chose a KISS bov as I found a used one for a decent price (whatever that may mean when talking about dive gear

). I've had Martin at tecme build me submatix-to-kiss hoses adapters - which I received yesterday and will proceed to install the set: adapters, kiss hoses, kiss bov in replacement for the submatix loop.
Regarding the source, my plan is to feed the bov from the offboard tank (with a swagelock QC). The inboard dil tank is way too small for serving that purpose, knowing it also feeds my drysuit (wing from separate tank).
When I chose a bov, I considered the submatix one, but ended up discarding it, because it only fits on a submatix, whereas other bovs that were on my list (such as the kiss or the golem) can fit other rebreathers, and I wanted to be able to keep it should I change unit in the future. Other than that, I've heard second hand it's a nice unit, easy to twist and quick to assemble in the loop (hence also easy to disassemble for cleaning).

thank you for the replies!
i'm going to go for the submatix BOV and route it to my bail-out stage so i think tecme might next be on my list to contact re the swagelock gizmo.
i just don't feel happy for a BOV running off the 2L inboard.
happy diving everyone!

Check swagelock website, you may have a local distributor, this would save you shipping costs. Then, you have to figure out how to insert the QC 6 in the loop. I've ordered a couple of 1/4NPT male / reusable fittings at undersea, which can be threaded in the middle of a regular MP hose once cut where it's convenient to locate the QC.

Well well what a small world we live in.......Guilhem.......reference the Submatix MCCR you bought from me................I'm still waiting for the additional cost of shipping payment you agreed to send me but never arrived............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Narkedat30, that's a pretty unfair way of trying to solve a problem.
I personally know Guilhem, he is a very honest person and I'm sure that if you sent him a private message, he would have answered it.

NARKEDAT30 · 20th April 2008, 21:30

I can assure you that plenty of PM's where sent in the form of e-mails via the two mediums of E-bay and personal e-mail address all of which went unanswered..........just as this forum post has gone unanswered..........unfair I don't think so....opportunist perhaps............and he can still pay me anytime he likes.

Richard, this kind of post is rather unfair. You have sent me one email regarding the additional shipping cost that I had to incur due to your underestimating the unit weight, and I do confess I forgot to send you the payment when the package finally arrived (remember it took a few weeks to arrive). I do apologize for the forgetting. I did not receive any additional reminder from you, and would have sent the payment right away if I did, which is exactly what I will do as soon as you PM me your paypal address. Discovering the reminder in the form of the posts above - which fortunately a friend pointed me to - has a bit of a bad taste. As for the post having been unanswered, had you go to my profile you would have seen "Last Activity: 04-12-08 at 7:47 pm".
PM me your paypal address, and for me the case is closed and I will no longer address this on the forum. Thanks.
