MeCCR V''x = Version II + X

Trimix enabled !!

Sine more than one year I exchanged my normal steel versus carbon bottles. Naturally, in the water, I need the same overall weight. But on land I can get my machine ca. 12 Kg lighter, just by taking away easy removable lead.

I intend to do some deeper diving. Means I need some helium in my diluent.

I want to keep my inside 5 liter bottle to inflate my vest and my dry suite. In case I do shallow dives, this bottle will be my "normal" diluent.

For the deeper dives a third small diluent bottle is fixed aside of my box. The existing aluminium rails are perfect for application, I just needed an additional slider construction.

When I prepare my dive I can change diluent source from inside ( Air) to outside ( Trimix) bottle by swapping a tube. This is a saver way than a 3-way valve I tried before. Under water there is no reason to swap diluent. In the first picture you can see from left to right:
5 l bottle air, scrubber, 2l bottle O2, LiFePO4 battery tank, 2l bottle Trimix .
