The Megalodon CCR

Nicknamed the Meg, it is the ISC flagship model. The system has been in production for 8 years and there are over 1000 Meg CCR systems in the field. The Meg has been used all over the world and used as deep as 742ffw/224mfw. The Megalodon CCR has a reputation for reliability and can withstand extreme use.

Meg with available options

The Meg may be integrated with several types of electronic systems, scrubber sizes and types, gas supply cylinders, harness and BC assemblies. There are 21 versions of the Meg to support customer needs. The Meg is being used as a side mounted system for penetration into extreme enclosed spaces and doubled up as a twin system for CCR redundancy for extreme deep diving operations where carrying open circuit bailout is impractical.The ISC Megalodon CCR or more fondly called “The Meg” is a CCR system that has been embraced by divers of all skill levels around the world. Meg divers dive from 60fsw to over 742 fsw/225 msw. With its versatility of design, it can be configured to meet any level of diving and keep pace with the “Meg divers” skill levels.

Fundamentally the Meg was designed for the most demanding dives with consideration for the diver and their needs. Addressing not only the basic requirements of performance that a true 3rd party tested CCR must undergo, but also the other considerations that is not considered, such as travel concerns and conducting repairs in remote locations.

The design of the Meg meets fundamental design requirements established by the creator Leon Scamahorn, Founder and CEO of InnerSpace Systems Corp, in the USA. InnerSpace Systems is an ISO 9001:2008 registered company and the only one like it in the USA at this time. ISC is a custom CCR manufacturing company that designs systems to meet customer requirements.

Cylinder Mounts

Step 2: choose your cylinder mounts
The Shadow mount is an extremely low profile cylinder mounting and accessories fixture that allows cylinders to “hug” the primary breathing system. It also allows for cylinders or accessories to be quickly and repeatability remounted in its desired configuration. Shadow mounts may be welded to the Megalodon CCR gas plenum canister or fixed by compression clamps.

Shadow Welded Non Welded Options
Shadow mounts may be welded to the Megalodon CCR. This option provides for a permanent solution for mounting cylinders to your canister. The non-welded option for shadow mounts is to have them attached with a compression clamp (aka worm drive clamp). This allows versitility if needed.
