Comparison of DSV's - Deep Thought - 05-27-2010
Here are a couple pictures that I took of the different DSV's (Dive Surface Valve) from a few of my rebreathers. I have on the top row a comparison of BOV (Bail Out Valve - DSV)from the KISS, Golem Shrimp, Poseidon Discovery. On the bottom row DSV from Inspiration, Megalodon, rEvo / Drager Ray. The picture shows relative size as a comparison, but I did not do any testing other than my own based on experience.
Weights of the following, taken off my postal weight scale.
KISS - 1lb 4 oz
Golem - 15 oz
Poseidon - 11 oz
Inspo - 6 oz
Meg - 6 oz
rEvo - 4 oz
I have previously sold my AP Diving Bailout DSV, sorry did not have picture for comparison.
Other CCR News: I was in the process of tricking out the new KISS Explorer that I got a few weeks ago...and got excited as the package with fittings I need arrived. Unfortunately they sent the wrong size. So I will have to wait to post pictures of all of the very cool Mods that I think will make it very diveable.
Off to dive the Tech wrecks of Milwaukee this holiday weekend.
Safe Diving
