Well Dennis if all of the ccr 500 has the 3.5 mil hours then it has to be the mk15 and the it is suppossed to be a new unit. personally you take the proven old and I'll opt for the evolution of a better technology. better, more efficient electronics, better sensors, more dependabel hardware, I truly beleive a 90's technology beats a 70's technology in almost everything cars,boats, airplanes, dive equipment and especially in fully closed circuit units. That does mean i do not think the unit is excellent it just means that only closed minded person would assume modern technology with the advances made by growing from the short commings of old technology was not a step forward in safety and dependability. On the odessey it is an already proven concept as pointed out by Barrie except it has the advantage of being updated. Yes I agree it is prudent to have a po2 monitor and mind will. tom At 07:33 AM 7/5/96 +0000, you wrote: > > >On Thu, 4 Jul 1996, Barrie Kovish wrote: > >> >> Dennis, do you have some specific unhappyness with the Odyssey or just >> >> a general malaise about semiclosed circuit? >> > >> >semi closed units. >> >> I would point out that, in theory, the Odyssey will have ~1/3 the >> variation in FO2 that the Atlantis I has making it somewhat more >> diver friendly and less prone to those annoying spots of hypoxia. > >the key word here is "theory", yawnnnnn, sorry, but this is old stuff, >without a ppo2 indicator any unit is dangerous.. very dangerous. and the >semiclosed makers know it and aren't talking about it.. can't imagine why, >i mean, this is (or should be) bigger than all of us put together.. but >all they want to do is put units out there... even if they will kill >people.. sorry guys, but that's just what you've got... and even if you >don't hurt anyone.. you are still diving air or close to it.. > > ...... what is the point, photographs.. hold your >breath. free dive.. what ever, but if you're gonna sell something tell >the world what the hell you're selling.. the siding closers are long >gone. > >dp > >ps let's put all the units up against each other and run tests like i did >on the fienos.. that's the right way to do it... i think some of makers >would run.. sorta like the first forum meeting in key west three years >ago... :-) > > >you can bet that when i get the 500's i will do just that, and i'll >borrow marty's 15.5, or marks, and i'll get the drager that a guy bought >last month and already wants to sell it, and rich, and any other unit i >can get my hands on... an run some real live tests.. and publish them.. >(bet that scares the shit out some of the manufactures, oh my god, the >TRUTH!!).
