Try silentmegdiver - he dives a number of different units and instructs (I believe) on them all

Nice guy, knows his stuff and is normal!

Isn`t the Copis the same price as a Classic Kiss? On the downside, Meg courses seem to be more expensive than the others in the uk.

Well I have been looking around for some time at new CCR's I also would like a new box Old unit is looking tatty nowBut I dont really like any ybod is good and dun me proud!! Well is that because the electrics have never been back to AP? Well I have been trying to do a bit of research in to new CCR's I realy do like the rEvo nice little unit but its a manuel ! im just lazy
I have tried to do some poking about on RBW but the so_pu{sock puppet} account got sust and then came the ban no3 So back to trawlling the net for me Anyway I have seen bits on the new cis no picks yet but sounds very promising and this open revolution sounds good so we shall wait and see what pops up? probably at Dema I should think!

Last time was... MV Hurricane, Red Sea (Tony Backhurst), 2006

I also think is incorrect to call them "dedicated". doesn't the Submatix also use Evo cylinders!

I think the revo can have an upgrade with set point controller.. (according to their leaflet)

Just FYI,

Tornado Marine does not have it's own rental selection, it's all shared with loads of diveschools in Sharm, so they can get you what you want with notice. But if 2 people lose the same piece of equipment on a trip you are in big trouble...

M/Y Nautilus Explorer in Mexico is also rebreather friendly with a Meg and Inspiration on board and several rental tanks of many sizes.

Well did meet the rEvo team at the NEC last year had paulraymecers very kindly give it a tear down on the floor in the aisle next to the greenforce stand as i had mist him earlier doing the tear down as an exclusive to the NEC dive show at the time before dema and very nice it is too he even let me try it on for size (I was going to do a runner with it but his buddy was bigger than me!) We also talked about a few other modification's he and his team were working on but i am just keeping my options open for now

Basically, the meg u can stick any tanks on. The Kiss - not sure, but think u can put any tanks on this too. Inspo - only inspo tanks unless u have a frame, but most rb friendly resorts have inspo tanks. Think u can put any 2l or 3l tank on revo depending which version u have.

in Malta I was using 3x3ltr's and 2x'8ltr's nice and trim was getting into holes that an inspo with box mounted of board 3ltrs could not ! it was so funny watching Father Ted try and riddle into the engin room with his ybod with side mounted 3ltrs on i nearly spat my loop out
well the boxes are good for any size cylinder who in hell come up with a travel box that takes only 2ltr cylinders ????? i posted that some time before it came out! its time for a new unit to corner the market ybod have had there day all the so called new bits on the vision/evo have come from home builders its them that are the lab rats for tomorrows CCR's
