Mares / rEvo Dive Expedition Lake Baikal 2017

Last year, a test dive team went to lake Baikal to test Mares products and rEvo Rebreathers in a more challenging environment.

Mares has always been good when it comes to cold water diving. In the open recreational scuba system, the old Mares 12III regulator was the one we used when diving under the ice etc. It simply never ever froze.

Besser kann man nicht testen. Die Kombination von atmospärischer Kälte, kaltem Wasser, Eis ist großartig. Im Sommer sind wir dort auch getaucht. Mit Mono 15, einfachem Automaten Wt 2-8°C. Keine Vereiser. Beste Luft, bestes Wasser, beste russische Kameraden.

"...Make sure there is no water in the mushroom valves". Anyone who has dived CCR knows that this is unpreventable - warm wet lung exhalation versus a cold convoluted hose = condensation? So what is the Mares answer to this? It would have been nice to see some suggestions like more hose insulation or a heated DSV.

Great video! What XR regulators did you test? 25XR or 75XR ?

Would love to carry my rEvo there as well...

I do like the carbon fibre/(kevlar?) cylinders...

[ozzyguy]

...and how many divers have died on rEvo (and other CCR units) now?
