* These Scrubber durations are achieved in deliberately harsh test conditions and so in reality times may be longer. However, the manufacturer\u2019s guide times MUST be adhered to unless you have a Scrubber Life Monitor (Tempstick) fitted which accounts for real-time conditions. See Dive Duration<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

\u2020 Cylinder hire is readily available worldwide and so it is common practice to travel without cylinders and if you pack the Scrubber and other parts in your hand-luggage, these unit weights may be reduced by about 8-10kg for the hold weight when flying.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

WHICH INSPIRATION?<\/h2>\n

Some points to consider when making your choice\u2026<\/h3>\n

The difference between the 3 models?<\/h4>\n

This can be summed up quite simply: Inspiration\u2026 Small, Medium and Large.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They are identical apart from chassis length and they have different sizes (durations) of scrubber unit and cylinders. All 3 models have the same spec in terms of build quality, control systems and upgrade options. (exception: only the larger unit \u2013 the Inspiration xpd \u2013 can upgrade to a 22kg wing because of it\u2019s chassis size)<\/p>\n

So which Inspiration model is right for me?<\/h4>\n

The answer to this will be a balance between the type of diving you plan to do and how much importance you give to the size and weight of the unit chosen in relation to your body frame size.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
