I am looking to change to a rebreather because i am fed up with always being the first to surface - even if I leave it until I have 10 bars I'm still only in the middle of the group . i do a lot of underwater vidioing and I use that as my excuse .
I only dive in warm water and am looking at getting a Submatix semi -closed rebreather .
Does anyone have any info on them ?
I am not one who is very technical , all I want to do is go diving for longer than 40 minutes !!
My maximum depths would be 30 -35 meters .
Any help would be apreciated
If you told us a bit about your diving experience and such, it could be helpfull. As Rob said, there are some of the best Rebreather pilots to be found, here on Rebreather World.
It sounds as though your motivation for an Rebreather is based on your gas consumption rate. Experience and frequent diving usually are what improves that. A bigger tank may be an easier interim solution. While an RB certainly extends your time, it also requires regular use to keep the skills sharp. If you dive regularly, an Rb is a great tool, if only occasionally, it can be a great risk.
Give these guys a bit more to work with, and they'll have some excellent advice.
