A new world opening up.....

Hello, everyone!

I just signed up as a member today after having this board recommended to me by a friend. Last week at DEMA I ordered my Meg from Leon and I'm looking forward to getting my hands on it! Like I said in my thread title I feel like an entire new world is opening up for me and I'm excited as Hell about it!

A bit about me:

I started diving WAY back in 1976 and took up underwater photography shortly thereafter using a Nikonos II and a Nikon flash-bulb rig. I now dive with either a Nikon D-70 or D-100 with Aquatica Housings and use Ikelite DS-125 strobes. The diving bug bit me well and proper years years ago and I have spent much of my time underwater ever since. Over the years I have gone through a lot of training up to and including Advanced Trimix, but in the past few years I have been sniffing around rebreathers just waiting to make the jump. It's time, don't you think?

Foe the past four years or so I have worked for/with Curt Bowen as a Staff Writer and Photographer for Advanced Diver Magazine, so some of you may have seen my work there. Darn near everyone on the staff has a Rebreather of some kind and they have all been encouraging me to follow suit.

I look forward to reading your posts and learning as much as I can. After all these years it's going to be interesting being a complete novice all over again.

Best regards to you all!
