Help In The S**T !!

[colinicky]

Right I have just been informed that my instructor needs my confirmation of spec for my new inspo /evo but I still havent made up my mind as to which due to differing advice on weight etc even from ap so is anybody at wraysbury over the weekend with an evo that i could try on & do a weight check with ?I am already mod 1 certed . I have a classic inspo so i know what i need for that but the weight is the most important consideration for me .Please help
either pm me or 07740 170036
I dont mind paying for your entry to wraysbury or even leybourne (yes i'm that desperate )+ the teas & burgers .
TIA

hi colin,

you say that weight is your main consideration for the worry about which one to get, but keep your future diving plans in mind, with a 2 hour duration on the evo and a 3 hour on the inspo i'm definitley going for the inspo,its only going to be top side that the weight plays such a bit part,
what about diving in the channel, you won't want to be mucking about changing sorb on a boat or cutting a good 2nd dive short just because your absorbent duration is up,
anyway thats the way i see it, but i'm not yet mod 1 but the advice i have been given is above, the main one i was told is ,if you plan on travelling a bit with your unit and like the shallower stuff then evo, but if you like the deep and dark stuff then the inspo is the better choice, hope this helps a bit colin ,
but this advice is from a complete beginner (as you know)

hope alls going well with your diving

won't belong now

Question from a Kiss owner .
I thought that the scrubber life indicator actually shows that the life is longer than 3 hours, even on the Evo.
Are not a lot of Evo owners getting Inso times because they are getting more time from their scrubbers due to a more realistic indication of the state of the scrubber?

Not looking to stir, just curious. I also realise that the Vision electronics will allow the scrubber indicator to work on the Inspo.

Thats the problem I know all the spec figures but with the temp stick in you can go a hell of a lot longer than 2 or 3 hours anyway If your doing a long deep dive first followed by a short second shallow dive then you would probably be ok but if my 2nd was a wreck dive not a drift then i would tend to change sorb anyway .+ if your worried about 2l verses 3l cylinders IMHO it's a none starter either dive it alpinist in which case at 100m 2 verses 3 is the least of your problems or IMO be sensible & carry bail out in which case your bail out would be the same plan anyway .By the way when do you do your course ?

hi turbanator,
i was taking the info from the ap diving product comparision sheet, and it states on their that the absorbent duration (797) (4'c 40rmv 1.6lpm co2) that the duration of the evolution is 2 hours and the inspiration is 3 hours,
as for what happens in real time with the new scrubber monitor system i have no idea, maybe some one could give us the answer ? i would suggest that this is a base line for the units and some people with low S.A.C. can and do get a greater time

Order an Inspiration and one of Phis travel frames - then you will have something lighter than an evo with more run time and the same cool electronics!

When phil makes up his mind on bm cl for the inspo evo I may well order both at the same time !
