smartecosse Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Really cheap quality looking ABS is the back of the "box" that everything is mounted on APD's own harness with intergrated weights. You need a lot of weight with these to get down initially Counter Lungs, you can see the two manual valves for the O2 and the Diluent. You can also see the two T pieces that the breathing look attaches to. The one on the right hand side had the ADV on it as well which is why it looks slightly different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartecosse Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 lungs added to the box the lungs are "strapped" to the harness to stop them lifting away lungs without being held in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartecosse Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 where does all this go ???????/ back from being cleaned starting to put all the lines in, you can see the distribution bar at the top for the three low pressure lines valve and gauge on left lung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartecosse Posted March 27, 2007 Author Share Posted March 27, 2007 diluent lines in and the 2 litre dil bottle in place both valves and sets of line in place along with the O2 bottle APD make their own valves. Not very handy for getting spares is Asia the electronic control unit and the lid. You can see the three oxygen sensors the scrubber cannister. This is where the CO2 "removal agent" goes. The lead hanging down is for the temperature sensor that runs down the middle of the cannister. the "housing" that the scrubber cannister goes into. You can see the "snorkel" which is where the used air returns to from the breathing loop the scrubber unit in place you can see here the top of the scrubber, the air distribution bar and the "snorkel". The hole in the centre is where the breathing loop (air out from cannister is still to be connected) and the smaller screw in connector is where fibre optic head up display is connected.

Prudent_rabbit Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Never dived with these yet, intersted in hearing your thoughts on them, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartecosse Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 there the future had it about two years, pretty much bypassed the twins route and went for the evo great to dive with, and less deco obligation etc only downside is the ridiculous price of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonybonytony Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I've just done a course on an Inspiration, and ordered the Evolution, as it's a bit smaller and I'm not massive. The beauty of them is that instead of choosing a gas mix in advance, or carrying different mixes with you, it adjusts the mix all the time to maintain a constant PPO2. So you are always breathing the optimum nitrox mix for the depth. And you check your gauges, then check them again and the pressure hasn't dropped hardly at all, you could dive all day without running low on gas, and have loads of NDL time...I wasn't sure before I tried it, but I think I'm probably converted now. Once the prices become more reasonable, I think this is the future of diving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deepest I have been personally on the unit is only 70 meters, to go any deeper I would have had to have had a shovel with me The unit themselves are well proven on deep dives with 200 meter plus having been done on them. Check out Cedric Veriders site if you want to see what CCR's are capable of. 200 m dive on a battleship anyone Actually they are great on relative shallow dives as well in the 20 to 40 meter range. Much less deco obligations and hardly any gas usage at all. The Evo is also quite small and is about the same weight as diving with a 15 lt steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemac Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 had it about two years, pretty much bypassed the twins route and went for the evo great to dive with, and less deco obligation etc only downside is the ridiculous price of them I thought it was because you were too fat to carry the twins and deco cyls. and too tight to pay for open-circuit helium.
