Today I have been playing around the adm area for the hosted website. One function that dissapeared from my blog was the ability to publish pictures from within the adm area, so I decided to bypass it. It was back to hacking pure html code again.... :=) I have also released some never before published pictures of the Hunchback canister. Enjoy folks! Dive safe!

I woke up today late. I got sick after test dive 1. I have been thinking about these last years and it has sure been a roller coaster ride and it is still moving! :=) Version seven is the best prototype version so far for my type of diving. I have designed it for cold, dark, deep, decompression dives into the Baltic Sea. I want a regular "tech" diver to feel comfortable and right at home when he or she straps into the Hunchback version 7. I want the balance to be perfect for those who strive for a perfect trim in the water, I want the valves to be easy accessible from behind the neck, the hoses should run smoothly down and around the diver with nothing sticking out that could snag the diver into a wreck. Simply put. I want my divers to have safe and excellent dive experience while using the Hunchback. That has always been my goal since I am a diver myself. Well that’s it my friends. Stay tuned to this blog for more stories and news about the hunchback adventures!

The dive went well in the pool! Everything was perfect. Balance, breathing, gas flow, the new ADV kicked in as it should, the counterlungs are perfect... I just love my machine! I am going to bed as a happy diver tonight! :=)

D-day is here! I finally got all parts from Germany last night!!!! It was X-Mas!!! ;=) Tomorrow night we are doing the first dive with version 7!!!!! Can´t wait!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight I adjusted my gasflow in the system. It was running a bit low last testdive, so I decided to look into the matter. The IP of the first stage was low, it was about 7 Bar, it should have been around 9 Bar. I tested some different IPs and decided to go with my original plan of 9 Bar which gives me about 0.72 liters of O2 per minute which is ok considering my diving. If I was to take photos I would keep down to about 0.6 L/Min.

Tonight I have been working on version 7. It is starting to look very good. Almost all the parts have arrived. I am just waiting for 2 adapters from Germany, Tecme. I can´t wait to dive with this version. It will be the best version so far. I will soon post some pictures, but I have to be satisfied with everything before I can take the pictures. Every hose, every connection, every part, etc, has to be perfect! :=)
