Rebreather Sorb after 4.5 Hours in 40 Deg. F. Water Part 1

This video is intended for entertainment and information purposes only. If you intend on doing this type of diving, please seek out the proper training.
Keep in mind that everyone is different and not everyone will see the same results. Things like metabolic rate, workload and comfort level play a role in how long sorb lasts. On this dive I was using a DPV and not working very hard. I typically only get about 4 hours on fresh sorb over the course of a weekend.

Awesome.

[@familyscuba1292]

Thank you.

Thank you for sharing the sorb looks like after 4+ hours in the cold water diving out there. Wondering is there any water trap in Sidewinder that build before the gas runs into the left canister? That was so wet to me.

[@familyscuba1292]

There is no water trap in the sidewinder. The counter lung is the lowest point so any moisture that builds up drops down and stays there. I get about half an ounce of liquid out of the right loop tube and the counter lung combined after a weekend like this. It has never caused an issue.

How are you adding dil w/ just an O2 MAV? Relying on the ADV only?

[@familyscuba1292]

Yes. Just the ADV. Haven’t had a single issue with it. It’s hands free and push button if needed.

[@HKChad]

@@familyscuba1292 Interesting. I've gotten in the habit of injecting O2+DIL at the same time during descent to keep from messing up my PPO2 and I've been trying really hard to NOT activate the ADV, different approach! Thanks.

[@familyscuba1292]

@@HKChad Good approach. The planned depth and dill I’m carrying generally dictates how much O2 I’m adding. It’s a balance and a million ways to get there for sure.
