A friend just went to Dema and bought a rebreather. I have been interested for many years but never pursued it. The thought of photography without the bubbles does intrigue me. My question is about the fills for the unit. Can you get a standard nitrox fill? What about the scrubber unit? Is...

Komodo Trip Report I took my first trip back to Asia in many years on September 14, 2016. I flew with Singapore Airlines and was extremely happy with the service. I flew Premium Economy from JFK to Denpasar Bali. I am a pretty big guy but flying Premium Economy made it manageable. I am roughly...
