Why not? Probably the same tired old argument you ahve all heard before!

Ie
It will kill me by itself
The batteries might fail
They don't work
Nobody has tested them, you are all guinea pigs.


OK Keep your hair on I did say the same old tired arguments, so for those who are not sure...... that means I don't agree with them

etc

In reality it's because I like simplicity, do some dives on trimix but not lots in a year.

I am happy with in water time of 90 minutes so not alot of bottom time to be gained from shaved deco (unless I have missed something).

My kit gets a hammering (dive in the morning before work, throw the kit in the back of the pickup, forget it for a couple of days, check gas jump in for another dive, throw in the back..... get the idea).

They are rather alot of dosh in the first place.

Financial viability is not in my favour....

I am very much a team diver which appears to be at odds with the world of rebreathers.

A statement based on my limited observations, but this also applies to a lot of OC technical divers in the UK
etc.

However I would not say that I will never dive a rebreather (that would be silly).

I am sure at some stage I said I would never get married or have children, so hence the paragraph above

So being a curious chap I thought I would pop in and have a nose around, ask questions etc.

Now thinking of questions why do so many people with rebreathers have more than one, or buy one then sell it for another one?

It's the more than one that gets me, especially different flavours.

Oh well......

Anyway hello everybody

Happy diving

Martin
