Re: COPIS vs APECS

I dived a Classic and a Hammer Head for a three years then switched this year to a KISS MCCR.

I dont believe for one second that a MCCR is as safe as a properly monitored ECCR.

Flying a ECCR manually is good practice in case you need to but I see it as a pointless exercise. Just let it do its think and monitor it.

I have flown an ECCR manually for a couple of hours on one dive (because my HH broke) and i can confirm its a fair amount of work but easily doable. It just distracts from the dive.

MCCR is much easier to fly because your only toping up the 02 not injecting all of it.

If you want an MCCR buy one.

I bought one because i was fed up with the electronics breaking on ECCRs. No other reason.
