This page starts with building
phase 1. There is now an update as you will find in
part 2 of this rebreather building |
Joe Radomski sent me pictures of his new rig. This is really
something nice! For those who think an Inspiration is bulky and heavy, here
is a possible solution. You just contact Enrique of
Tech Dive Tools and ask him to
build you a TITANIUM inspiration housing. The housing should not weight more
than ~ 7 kilogram. For nice handsets and real time decompression you call
Kevin Juergensen and order a hammerhead.
Unfortunately is was hard to find titanium screws and small parts, but ok..
you can't have it all .... |

Here are the updates I recently received from Joe
Radomski. He fine tuned his set and added extra bottles. |
|
|
This is how the rig is now. |
The two larger tanks are 7 l steels with Poseidon regulators
the two attached in front are 3l steels attached to quick disconnect
brackets (pictures at end) |
|
|
|
The larger cylinders are strictly bailout diver left is
bottom bailout hooked up to a high performance Poseidon 1st with a Kirby
Morgan second stage the cylinder on the right is used for deco bailout.. I
dive with a 50/50 mix |
|
|
The 3l on the left is my bottom diluent and the 3l on the
right is my oxygen.. instead of using the normal Apeks 1st stages I am using
DST (turret and sealed) |
The manifold I had made for me by MJ engineering I gave him
the exact layout and he machined it for me. Both bailout bottles have
Inspiration compatible whips so I can use them for SCR use, and the 2nd
stages have long hoses so they can easily be donated to others.. |
|
|
The unit weights approx 55kg fully charged |
- The hose colors as follows
-
- yellow = diluent
- orange = bottom bailout
- green = oxygen
- red = deco bailout
|
|
|
This unit has my hammerhead attached as well as a cell
integrated explorer computer from hs-engineering.
(different readings because Hammerhead is not calibrated ;) |
Here the Hammerhead handset |
|
|
Here the Hammerhead DIVA |
the ADV is from Oxycheq its an improved version of Bobs, and
I'm using a 360 degree swivel and a MJE cutoff.. made considerable better
than the APEKS version.. |

Here the quick releases |
