Photo 1 looks all shaky, was that as a result of the un-controllable giggling going on. I like the cylinder orientation and valve positions, most impressed.

I had a fondle at Diggers efforts last night and I have to say, compared with his first dodgy ABLJ effort this one is the dog's danglies. Trim needs a bit of adjustment but it looks really well built and it might not even kill him. Bottle_monkey had a go and nearly went straight to B&Q to start building his own.

Mind you it was pissing air out of all sorts of orifices but remarkably none of them to do with the RB but with dodgy regs.

Looks very professional I have to say. Have fun diving on it!

Have you seen the room in the last pic? My god, did a diving shop explode in there?

Well done digs. Someone may make the mistake of thinking you know what you are on about one day (only joking man )

I am sooooo jealous, it looks really good.

Loads of questions though

Where is the scrubber from ?
What hose did you use ?
Were the inspiration lungs a scary price ?

Plans or a description would be great.

Good luck with diving it!!

well having had ago on it and not died I was most surprised. It actually looks like hes done a decent job. Yes there were a few leeks (one dodgy blanking plug, one 1st stage diaphragm knackered and a joint near the needle valve) but on the whole it looks like it may not kill him. It was quite easy to breath off under water and apart from the weighting being all round your arse it was quite diveable.

However, the unit may not kill him but his own stupidity may. When he first jumped in he realised he couldn't sink. So we spent a good few minutes looking for some more lead. We couldn't find any. It was at the point when digger looked like he was going to throw the toys out the pram when I turned and said "Jack is it me or is your wing totally inflated". At which point he grabs his hose lets out the air and rather sheepishly sank to the bottom. He is a grade A muppet!

Awalker,
I'm building something similar.
Digger used second hand lungs that weren't badly priced (sub £100).
However he did put me in contact with someone (PM me if you want details) who could sell me new Inspiration lungs. By the time I'd bought the Lungs (came with t-pieces) hose fittings, 1 injector, hose tool and 1.2m hose it came to about £360 (all parts brand new Inspiration parts, except the hose tool).
If you're looking at an inspiration mouthpiece and hose assembly this retails at £200.
Regards
