Hey guys, I posted my intro thread yesterday, and now I have some specific questions.

I have always been interested in Rebreather's, and now I finally have to opportunity to learn about and experience them.

My family, friends, buddies, etc. (as well as myself, for the time being) dive OC. I know no one personally who dives with a Rebreather. I have the opportunity to have "demo" sessions in the pool and open water with a Dolphin, which I will almost certainly jump on to try it out.

My question to you is, will I be able to dive regularly with my girlfriend, brother, and parents on OC while I'm on an SCR? Will getting the fills be hard (over 40% EANx)? How about getting the scrubber?

Lastly, I'm all about tooling around and playing with my "toys" (car nut and engineering student), but I've been told Rebreather's need a lot of attention, which I will expect, but will I have to spend hours pre- and post-dive cleaning this thing?

Thanks a ton!

Danny
