Manual rEvo III

The harness, with rotation fittings, is mounted on the split backplate. The shoulder
piece is rounded on top of the rebreather, following the curve of the shoulders. The
straps of the harness are attached to this shoulder piece.
The lower back piece can be adjusted in height by the user, in order to customize the
backplate to the diver’s length. The shoulder straps of the harness are threaded
through the lower part of the backplate, where they can be connected around the
diver’s waist. A rubber protection plate is
mounted over the backplates , held in
place by the straps.
The construction of the split backplate, the
rounded upper section combined with the
thin stainless steel case and the built-in
wing, afford a perfect fit of the rebreather
to the diver’s back creating very low drag
and optimal streamlining.
Hydrostatic pressure differences are kept
to a minimum due to the counterlungs
position close to the diver’s back.
