Wow that's crazy - I've never met 1 cat that liked getting wet!!

I meant the 20th....yea nay?

Wait - were you in Tampa last Sat for the Rebreather tryout? The one with the Meg?

WHAT DO YOU DO HOTSHOT?! HUH? WHAT DO YOU DO! (ala the movie Speed)

Good info - will have to experiment myself later!

Agreed - but don't forget - we are all human, and humans are not exempt from the laws of infallibility! Its not a matter of if, moreso a matter of when!

Good responses....thanks.... 1. Less gear - less gear to carry around. 2. Less weight - from less gear 3. No problems with "dry mouth" - recycled breathing gas is not dry 4. Staying warmer - compressed air is cooler, dryer. Recycled breathing gas is warm and moist. 5. Minimal...

Ok - so zooming while with macros should be OK? I am having some issues with my oly 3040 while zooming (the infinite focus will not focus!)....

No prob - just don't understand I guess :) Anyhow, my thoughts are that you will die sometime. If you scuba dive, you increase those odds of dying. If you use a RB, you increase your odds of dying. Heck, if you get out of bed you will increase your odds of dying - maybe getting hit by a...

MY post was rubbish? How so? I don't quite understand how a post that is a poll asking why rebreathers haven't gone mainstream yet is rubbish?

From an engineering standpoint - both were very well engineered. I'm a technical guy, I love electronics, and all sorts of gizmos and doodads. But - when it came to the rig, I really did like the KISS better. The Meg was really a great reg, but I loved the ability to just put the unit on...

You've hit the nail on the head - Wonder how much mark up is involved in a lot of those prices listed above? The dive industry is very secretive when it comes to this sort of thing (ala good ole boys club). You see a lot of home brew rebreathers out there, its interesting. Looking at the...

I agree - and wonder if the folks who preach this philosophy want to prepetuate an elitest attitude for this sport? Hmm...

Interesting replies.... I have 80 logged dives and have been diving for 5 years. This past Saturday I had the opportunity to try out the Sport KISS and Megladon rebreathers. It was a basic try out dive, 10 min on each unit. Plus other info. I have read the book Mastering Rebreathers as...

Wow - can't believe there are not any replies to this. I definitely plan on this, especially after seeing the discovery channel special on cocos (maybe it was blue planet?) - they plainly stated that the Taiwanese fishing boats are coming over and destroying the marine life. What a damn shame.

$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$ ..... heheh :P

What is the biggest thing keeping the rebreathers out of the rec market? Do you think its cost, ease of use, both, or something else? My opinion is cost.

Thanks for the info guys, I've been out of this scene for a while now. I'm glad DEMA will finally be in Orlando coming up, so that I will actually be ABLE to go!! The submatix is pretty cool looking, would love to see it. I wouldn't mind seeing one of those outboros units too (I don't know...

I just found these two new rebreathers from google: http://www.submatix.com and http://www.diveriteexpress.com/rebreathers/optima.shtml The first is a German made kit - looks nice! The second is a rebreather from Dive Rite! :11: Who knows, this may be old news, its new to...

The going rate around here (Orlando) is around $20 per stage, plus parts - which can add up pretty quick to a fast $100. Funny thing about reg servicing - the better you take care of your gear, the less likelyhood you would need to do a service every year. The last couple of times I've had my...
