| Re: Recommendation On Rebreather
Well there is at least one Meg diver in Singapore and you are more than welcome to have a look at mine when it floats back from Kuching next week...
As for the dive computer, certainly while you are learning and building up hours the D9 if you already have it will work fine. You can simply set a nitrox mix that resembles your setpoint at your max planned depth and then another for the shallower part of your dive. This gives your most of the benefits while deciding what constant PO2 computer you want.
As for reliability, the only "maintenance" that I have had to do so far was change the batteries, a few lithiums from Sim Lim and they are still going strong after more than 100 hours... But if you ever do have to ship it back to the US it will be expensive...
And for travel, I usually put the meg can, counterlungs, canister light and a few first stages and dive comps in my carry on case. So if I don't have to take my tanks I can get away with about 30kg checked luggage (and a sore shoulder from the carry-on)...
Cheers
