| Re: Which Rebreather and Why??
Which rebreather? Before you buy you don't know: after you buy you don't care. Once you've bought a rebreather, you have too much psychological and financial capital tied up in that unit to be equivocal anymore: yours is the best! Before you buy, you're new to the unit, it's not adjusted for you, your buoyancy is shite and you don't trust it not to poison you.
In New York, you're not going to be short of opportunities to try several units. You're about to spend a pile of money: go ahead, try them. It all depends what you want to do with them: there isn't an out and out best rebreather, but there is likely to be one that best suits your needs.
The Meg is rugged and soldierproof; it fits into one of those little bags air hostesses carry, so if you arrive your 'breather arrives; it's modular, so you can always add things later. You won't go far wrong on this, but you'll feel better about buying it if you test drive some of the others. |
