| Andrei Yashin from Moscow Russia sent me
some modifications he made on his Dräger Ray. Of special interest is the
orifice he made at home. If you are interested in how to calculate such
orifices please check out
this page.
Andrei has his own homepage here:
http://www.yashin.narod.ru/ . There is lot of interesting stuff there.
Andrei uses his modified Ray about 3 years now for depths up to 40 meters
and at water temperature from 0 to +30 C. For other Ray modifications check
out this page:

| White Sea Ice diving, Andrei Yashin on the left diving his modified Ray. | ||||
 |
||||
| I also added bubble-deflectors. They are made of foam-rubber | ||||
 |
||||
|
The nozzle is redesigned by me to use EAN 40 at 8 l/min
(enough for me at all range of workloads). |
||||
 |
||||
| Pressure reducer made ambient-pressure isolated (Fixed IP) using self-made nuts and high-pressure silicon compound made by Loctite®) | ||||
 |
||||
| Added ring-weights to compensate breathing hoses buoyancy. Rings made of stainless steel with anti-glow cover | ||||
 |
||||
| Here you see the rings mounted on the loop. | ||||
 |
||||
| For cold-water diving added thermal-protection cover for scrubber canister. 7-mm neoprene. It worked well in water of about 0 C, at ice dives in the White Sea (Far North of Russia). | ||||
