It has been found that for the majority of divers, either their usual BCD or dry
suit LP hose will fit the Pod’s standard stem/coupler directly.
More specifically, the stem/coupler fitted as standard allows the Pod to connect with MIFLEX, Mares, Cressi, Scuba Pro, etc., and with many Closed Circuit Rebreathers (CCR) such as the Megalodon.
If you have AP Valve equipment or Inspiration/Evolution Rebreather CCR systems, the Pod can be fitted with a ‘longer’ stem to fit this manufacturer's kit.
Pod’s can be supplied already fitted with the replacement ‘longer’ stem/coupler - if requested at the time of ordering.
Otherwise, the Replacement Kit which includes 1 x stem/coupler, 2 x cable ties, 1 x nylon inner adaptor and fitting instructions is available from the order page.
While these two options cater for the majority of low pressure hose connections,
there are a few specialised types (i.e. Air 2000) that will not fit into the channel
on the Pod. An obvious solution is to purchase a standard low pressure hose and
fit to a spare outlet on the 1st stage.
Another method is to have a short ‘standard’ low pressure hose made up by any good scuba supply or servicing outlet. If used with the connector (also available on the order page), any stem/coupler with a 3/8” thread can be added to the unused end of the connector (that usually attaches to the 1st stage) so your existing low pressure hose will now connect with the pod.
In addition, for closed circuit rebreather (CCR) users, having a shortened LP hose made-up will mean the equipment is always ready for use in an emergency. A low pressure hose between 6” to 10” is normally ideal - but depends on the make of the CCR.
For Cave diving, by removing the second stage regulator and connecting the Pod to
the second stage hose with a simple connection, t
he pod can be quickly deployed within
the cave system if there is a sump available close to the emergency. If you have
difficulty locating a Regulator Hose Connector - we have sourced a supply and you
can purchase from the Order page on this site...
