    Lung goo on inhale side?

    I'm getting a decent amount of lung goo/ juice/ saliva building up on the inhale side after a dive. It is not in the lung, just sitting in the bottom of the inhale breathing hose where it connects to the BOV. I've heard varying answers on whether or not this is normal. Some people have said that...

    Review Course Report: Fathom Mod 1

    A few (many) months ago I started the thread "Fathom vs KISS Classic", which ultimately ended in one or two users asking for an update on what I ended up doing and how it went. Well here it is. Background: I was an OC hypoxic trimix diver (mostly GUE trained) looking for a CCR option that had...

    CE Requirement in Europe

    I am aware that only CE rebreathers can be bought and sold in Europe. My question is: in what European countries is it a non-issue to show up as a tourist to a dive boat or other dive outfit with a non CE unit, and in what countries are you going to be booted off the boat. I'm looking to hear...

    Diverite 5.5" Bands??

    Did I just ruin this manifold?

    I just put a twinset together with diverite bands and an manifold of an unknown brand although I believe it is the same as the Halcyon manifolds. I lined everything up and tightened the bands, but then noticed that the connection on the cross bar to the right valve is just slight crooked. After...

    Unsure of my next step for cave training...

    Alright, so about me... Pretty much all my training has been through the GUE curriculum (Tech 2, Cave 1, DPV1). I'm at the point now though where I am looking to transition both to Full Cave as well as move onto a CCR. The thing is I have very little interest in diving a JJ CCR in GUE config...

    Taboo

    I recently started solo diving, after years of adherely strictly to a "team diving" philosophy. The other day I had a realization that the single biggest thing that made me feel uncomfortable solo diving before, was just the stigma attached to it, especially by certain groups of divers who are...

    Fathom vs. KISS Classic?

    Hey scubaboard, Ive started saving for my first CCR, and have been doing the necessary research to figure out what unit I want. I'm mainly interested in backmount manual CCRs with backmounted counterlungs, that are fairly modular and can accept a wide variety of cylinders in case I want to dive...

    Complete Loss of Buoyancy Control On Descent to a Wreck

    This was a boat dive onto a cold water wreck (130ish metres long) sitting in 36-40m of water, with parts of the super structure beginning around 18m, and the first decks at 24-30m. Equipment being used was double steel 100's (12l) on my back with an AL80 (11l) bottom stage, all with EAN32. There...
