Check out the new RB from Poseiden...

Its aimed at the rec diver





Apparently one O2 sensor is enough (although it then goes on to say it has two)

Any takers?
Anyone, anyone?
Hmm

My oh my - such a slick design

Is this for real? I quote:
Finally, our post diving procedures are as simple and safe as the rest. Simply rinse the entire unit in fresh water, remove the electronics and put the rest in your dishwasher. Just don’t forget to charge the battery for next weekend adventure!

Think I'll stick to dreaming of a Revo

Yeah, I like the rEvo. Jury is still out on the rEvo II

Hope it means more twin set at a bottom rock price on TM.

here's a question on these, after noticing the set up of the rEvo in the picture above.
It's been previously mentioned somewhere I recall (prob from plumb bob) but why would you have regular set up of tanks with valves at the top (over the shoulder) yet the rEvo looks to be inverted, as does the fire service in their breathing apparatus.
I would have thought that it would have been better for access in this set up?
(this probably needs to go somewhere else - gear or "ask a question I guess"

This one has been hammered out on several other forums, which of course makes it no less valid a question.

The impression from what I've heard is that the inverted vs standard debate boils down to:

Inverted Pros:

Easy access to valves
Less entanglement probability (maybe..)


Inverted Cons:

Valves and regs exposed to greater damage probability
Hose routing hassles
Folk look at ya funny..

There are bound to be more pros and cons but that's all I can remember off the top of my head.

We have the inverted tanks at work and I reckon they're great, I couldn't imagine the hassle you'd have negotiating tight confined spaces with a valve and reg in the "standard scuba" position.. But of course my scuba rig is non inverted..

There are setups for commercial work that have a bolted on protector for the valves and regs. But that extra length for hoses would be a sod..for rec diving

The valves look very unprotected on that breather setup.....

RB's generally have built in "stands" or protectors so while standing up the 1st stages or valves do not bare the weight of the system.

thats correct

nearly every rb on teh market is inverted ( i think only teh palagian is not).

damage to the valves is not an issue as the breather sits on its casing/stand not on teh tanks anyway)
But acees is the big think, valve shut down is easier and quicker this way.
in particular if you take into consideration that teh breather does restrict your movement, and ability to reach valves if they weren't inverted.

I had a look at the poseidon - well not my think, but hey I like my inspo - she is a nice base for homebuilding
