While outwardly the same rebreather as the original Spirit, the Spirit LTE has several attributes of its own, namely weight.
In place of the all stainless frame used in the Orca Spirit, the Spirit LTE rests on a single piece of ABS plastic that serves as both back plate and mounting frame for the rebreather. While the ABS plate is slotted to accept any back plate harness, the LTE comes with a complete Dive Rite Trans plate harness and matching XT CCR wing. Instead of stainless Fastex clamps, scrubbers and oxygen cylinder are each held in place by a single 1.5-inch wide cam band.
