Congratulations on purchasing your KISS. I am also leaning toward the Kiss Classic as well, but haven't ordered one yet. What other kits were you considering, and what pushed you to selecting the Kiss Classic? Just wondering as it looks like I'm in the same boat you were in a couple of months ago.

Thanks,

Eric

The biggest factor for me was probably the simplicity of the design, it makes a lot of sense to me. If you watch this board, you will see a tremendous number of experienced rebreather divers switching to Kisses, and along with that, every rebreather diver I spoke to told me if they had choice other than their unit, it would be a Kiss. On top of that I am told (can't really offer my own opinion on this yet!) that starting out on a MCCR gives you a better base in CCR diving, than starting out on a ECCR. Their safety record also seems to be very good. When I initially started looking at making the purchase, price was a definite factor, the Kiss seemed to be the best value for the dollar, however in the end I don't think that I would have decided on a different unit regardless!
