Well Said Almity1.

Northwood, Another area to check is rebreatherworld.com then search on " travel frame" There are several alternatives being offered. I really like my inspiration, and when I look ahead at my next RB, when my wife asks ok, which RB are you selling to pay for a new one, the last one on my...

RJ, Most RB divers are diving a bit more than just recreational, as such their specific mission (dive) needs vary depending on the dive. For instance, a team of divers going deep in to caves could have a very different set of requirements than say a buddy pair going to do a photo shoot with...

Windwalker, First, good on you to be thinking of such an idea. Please do not take what I'm about to say as a distractor for continuing to think of ideas for RB diving. Ok, let's do an example of a RB dive when things go bad. Diver is cruising along with a setpoint (SP) of 1.2 and...

Suddha, Generally I see it takes about 50 dives before people really relax enough to get their effciency up to near peak on air use. If you are a good athlete and are in excellent shape, then your O2 consumption rate just will not allow you to have a low SAC rate without raising your CO2...

I've taken my rebreather on a couple of trips. Palau - Hunter 1 - rented tanks from fish&Fins, the liveaboard Hunter 1 could fill it on board, - I shipped my sorb (granules) (very easy, reasonable cost since it Palau has US zip codes.) Note- sorb was very expensive if purchased...

Congrats, seems like that is the tradional path, OC-SCR-CCR. Having done plenty of SCR diving the transition should be straight forward. You're already up to speed on the care, setup of a close loop system. Good luck.

FLTek, To streamline your dolphin I would suggest you put an armadillo/Nomad butt plate, to your harness, if you have not changed out the stock dolphin harness yet to a BP/W I would do that first. Then sling your 40, tucked up close, that will get rid of both of your 13s and streamline you...

105VR - For macro 18-55 - general purpose 10-17 Tokina for WA Gives me a nice range, since you're locked to the lens for the dive, I generally use the 18-55 unless I'm after something specific. In general I don't do a lot of Macro, I prefer shooting fish. I would suggest you consider...

I will try to look through my gear this weekend, I know I have one but have not seen it for a while. Neither of my Data Trans systems will link with the transmitter so I don't use them any more except as back up depth and bottom timers.

Stefan, Actually, the service I had was fine. I do need to caveat that though. I know the local Aqualung rep very well so that might have influenced it. But as far as getting parts and getting good service the service department was really good, even called and told me I did not need...

I have heard this for several years, and I sold my units when I first heard it. Later to find out this has been a yearly thing for some time. Maybe its finally true, but I would suggest really looking into it. As far as parts, there are two sites I used Online Shop | W+S Water Safety...

Hey Kimber, Obviously you're a driven person, with such great accomplishments earlier in life it is really tough when we are not achieving what we expect to. While you're beating yourself up stop and take time to stop and remind yourself of your accomplishments. Most of us who had...

Gill, very nice; might I suggest that you add a bit about the mass flow on the mCCRs especially as I think that may be the biggest safety factor going for them?

Mark, Good idea, but I'm pretty sure we checked that. There were two other D200 users and I had them check for my dumb settings, but just in case I'll check that. Good idea thanks.

Almitywife, For my last trip I purchased a tank of O2 for the trip I think it was about 300 cu ft, it cost me $110 US and that is at an awful exchange rate. I used my own booster to fill my tanks and after a full week of 4 dives a day and going through O2 quickly from doing yo-yo...

Hey FLTekDiver, Welcome back. I now dive the Optima & Inspo, but I regret selling my dolphins. There are times that the ease of setup lower weight of that system would be easier. But I truly enjoy the wonders of quite diving and the awesome interactions with the animals. I'm just...

Back from my trip, and what a waste, camera did not work out so good. Dry land shots worked fine, but in the water it was hit & miss. Did not finally give up on the ttl convertor till the last day :dork2: and that turned out to the be issue. Unfortunately I did not have diffussers with me so...

For Lens - I've been using the 10-17 tokina, and a 18-70 I usually start with 125 speed & 5.6 F-stop then adjust from there. Those shots in mid day - 50' viz have been very dark. Pre-flash I'll look into, I noticed that when the camera gets bumped around in the camera bucket sometimes...
