Re: Recommendation On Rebreather

In terms of support, the Meg does offer field service training that might help you. Other than that, as stated above, consider which location might be more service friendly for you.

If you need integrated deco, the Meg does not have it (although you can convert a head to the Shearwater or Hammerhead). You could wait for Apecs 3, but nobody can tell you exactly how long you will wait or exactly what you would be waiting for. I have expectations that it will be great, but in truth nobody knows and waiting is about all that can be done.

I dive a Meg and it's built very well. Can't comment on the Inspo/Evo, but from recent Rebreather World data about 61% of this forum dive them so something must be right there. From my vantage point, most everyone here has very sound reasons for choosing the rig they dive. We all grow in our views (which sometimes change), but 61% is some vote of confidence I think.

Exchange rate may play a factor at this point. The US dollar is close to play money now , so that helps the Meg.

I really like my Meg. Very solid and great service and support to this point. But that's just me. Think it through based on your circumstances.

Good luck with your decision.
