Hi, Just doing a bit of research on the old web. I'm looking to change from my Inspiration to a Kiss classic and weighing things up. Like the simplistic approach and ruggedness and interested to hear what people have to say about 'em. Uk Channel wreck divings my game, I'm a fairly experienced gas diver to 80m or so.

Hi John.
Have used the Classic to 75 metres in the UK without an issue. If going beyond 65 metres you will need one of the newer units with the smaller o2 orifice. The larger orifice is rated only to 65.
As for ruggedness i'd partially disagree. I often have small niggles with the unit, but the beauty is they are easily fixable and there is a whole community out there to tell your symptoms to, and you usually getback a plethora of answers and solutions. The thing I like is that it is virtually all self-fixable.
Not dived an inspiration so cannot compare.
I know someone who has a unit for sale in fact (not me!), PM me if interested.
If you want to look over a unit give me a shout. Looking forward to seeing you on my Newquay trip in October! The Rewa awaits!
