Friends,
I have recently been in discussion with a firm in the UK, who produces the new? Lungfish CCR.
I approached them as a very enthused, hopeful, prospective buyer.
The rebreather comes with two small cylinders, (Dil/Oxygen) which are neither DOT or TC certified, and all the thread fittings, cylinders/first stage regulators are European M series threads.
I advised the associate during our discussions, that I would use my own cylinders and if the first stage regulators can be changed from M series to DIN. He said he could do that.
I then asked if local support, (South West BC) was available he assured me there was local support.
I was then advised, my new rebreather would be shipped directly to me, complete, minus O2 sensors. Sensors would be forwarded to the instructor in my local area.
Sensors for the Lungfish rebreather are proprietary to the Lungfish and manufactured by Analytical Industries.
Long story short, after much discussion, what I was told was a complete lie, From all I could gather, there is no support for this rebreather anywhere, other than maybe locally in the UK where this rebreather is built.
This very unscrupulous person, was going to ship a rebreather to me, UK to BC, knowing full well that there was absolutely nothing I could do with this device.
I am writing this as information to all, and suggesting proceeding with caution if anyone here intends to contact this firm.
LOL, Rose
