Classic kiss scrubber nut not done up fully flooded unit, adv kept firing as loop volume got smaller managed to get to last stop 6m and bailed out. I was amazed at how much time I could carry on breathing the loop with no caustic cocktail.

Classic Kiss orifice nut had come loose and was giving me to much 02 bailed out as it was the first time I was using my Hammerhead so I was not sure of the cause of the problem until I stripped the unit to investigate.

Classic Kiss jumped in without 02 on turned on 02 and carried on decent a good reason not to use 10/52 as dill.

Sports Kiss retaining band had come undone so the scrubber and lungs floated out off case on entering the water.

No cocks up yet on Meg but I am sure they are in the pipe line.
