On Saturday, January 9, Dan Crowell and Rick Marshall will offer an Intro to Rebreathers - this is your chance to learn about rebreathers and an opportunity to try one out!

Many divers are under the impression that rebreathers are reserved for deep divers, tech or military divers only. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Rebreathers are just another way of doing what regular scuba does, but in a much more efficient manner. Imagine never having to haul huge tanks down to the dive shop for fills or down a long dock to the dive boat. How about never having to figure out the best nitrox mix for a dive because no matter where you go you’ll always have the perfect mix. Or, how about doing a dive to 60 ft. for three hours with nothing more than what’s on your back, and no deco obligation! The reality is rebreathers offer the greatest benefits at recreational depths than at any other level.

If you would like to learn more, sign up now. The cost is $25.00. Send an email to: r_mar@comcast.net or call 617-217-8165 to register.

The fees are to help defer the cost of the room, pool time, and consumables. We'll have five rebreathers available, including the Evolution, Inspiration (Classic and Vision), rEvo and KISS.

Time: 9:00AM to 12:00

You need to bring: Your mask, fins (booties if needed), bathing suit and a towel. A shorty or 3 mm wetsuit is ok, but please bring a weight belt if doing so. The pool is heated, so even a bathing suit and t-shirt should be fine for the time you'll be in the pool.

Just wanted to thank you for such an interesting class, Rick and Dan. I learned a lot and had a great time trying them out. And thanks again to Metro West Dive Club, who so graciously included this class as a raffle prize at the Wreck Symposium - and I was lucky enough to win it! Truly a wonderful prize, a great day and a chance to try some fascinating technology, get my questions answered and meet some really fun people.

Sadies Mom,

Good to see you again and glad you enjoyed the rebreather experience. We enjoy showing divers how simple rebreathers can be with the proper training.

The pics will be up soon on dropbox, so expect an email with the link in a day or two.

Hopefully we'll be able to do a night dive on the Idene this coming season!

Rick
