I am new to rebreathers (so new I haven't even dove one yet) but I am completing the TDI training next week. In any case, I have been reading a lot about the various brands and I have some questions regarding attitudes/beliefs and trends.
JJ, Meg, fathom, Revo, Defender, Optima, and Kiss are mentioned very often, whereas Posieden and AP appear to be less frequently discussed. Also, when people recommend systems, they frequently discuss some of those same systems and again, the others are not as frequently mentioned.
Why is that? I've seen data (not sure how old it is) that listed AP as by far the most sold rebreather. Based on that, I would expect them to be mentioned more often. Unless I am missing something, these all cost about the same new so I don't suspect price is the major factor (though I could be wrong).
Thanks in advance,
Aaron
