Alan Studley’s KISS RB

 

home

 

Alan is the second diver I knew that got a KISS RB, he has been diving it for about a year.  Alan is a professional UW photographer and videographer and really spends a lot of time underwater.  The KISS is a perfect RB for him, as most of his diving is within the recreational limits.  See some of Alan’s work on his website www.onlinewildlife.com.   He is also an Instructor Trainer for TDI.

 

 

This is the counterlung from the KISS RB.  Alan has added a P-Port to allow an oxygen sensor to be added and plugged into his HS Explorer dive computer.  The P-Connector came from www.oxycheq.com as well as the Explorer.  The P-port is a Drager part.

 

 

 

 

He has also added G-snap quick disconnect brackets for his gas cylinders, he tells me that putting his tanks on is now a “snap”.  Oxycheq is the supplier for these neat devices too.

 

    Ready to go!!

 

 

  The Man himself.     This pic was Alan diving with his KISS equipped with the new snog valve.  This is Gordon Smith’s new DSV that allows hands free addition of 02 or diluent via a lever actuated by the divers tongue, note the markings on the front and the feed lines coming in both sides of the DSV, you can also actuate the add valves with a finger push on the front of the unit.  BTW, snag is an British word for French kiss.
