Hi Zach, the reasons for the OPV and inflator on the military suits are:

(a) When you work upright (as opposed to in trim) you lose gas all the time so either you keep opening/closing the OPV or you put it somewhere where you can leave it open and not think about it. Guess where that location is.

(b) If you are diving a chest mount rebreather like many combatant divers will do, then the normal inflator position is underneath the unit and thus a pain to get to. So it's moved to an easy to reach and out of the way location.

I'm not seeing the difference on the bayonet connectors for the loop hoses. I dive a KISS Orca Spirit LTE (2023 or late 2022 build) and mine have the same click feedback with a quarter turn between lock/unlock positions. My buddy has a fresh 2024 build with the same connectors.

Hi Zach, has the mounting method changed for the new canisters ?

I was curious, since you did a video on the fathom Gemini a while back, did you get to check one out at DEMA? Just curious, as I just finished MOD 2 on mine. I think it would be cool if someone made a video comparing and contrasting them yet I havent met anyone who has dove both, personally I’ve only dove the Gemini. Or next time you’re around Houston you can check mine out.

Bummer on the boxed milk sidewinder 2. I thought just from the brief photo it had a needle valve.

Zach, this is driving me crazy: What is the outro music track that you use in this video? I have tried multiple methods, and everything fails or points to "Fatal Error" by Jules Reves, but that is not correct. I must be really close, what is it? Related: Do you have a playlist for the other songs you use? Thanks!

Why is the new Apeks regulator weird? EVX 200 is the model name I think. I think it looks quite cool.

It is an improved Winder, I don't really see the hype. Most of the improvements are fixes that should've been done over a decade ago.
