Hello,
Martin (Tecme.de) is a dealer for these. If you get in touch with him, he should be able to tell you all about it. He is very helpful.
Also, in Aus, Baz at Southern Cross Divers has one. He may be able to answer your questions.
Cheers
Dave
IMHO SCR is a good way to start easily with Rebreather or better to make somehone starting with RB, no such problem with sensor calibration, accurate control of ppO2 etc...and if you want to stay in the shallow bailout is not such a big problem, 4 liter on an emergency reg is oK.
Did you need a bailout tank when you go OC for a recreational divel? No you just have a bailout reg.
After that a SCR wich allows you to use a various choice of gaz loose simplicity and in this case only the pSCR could be a good choice ( thats me ok? ) but in any case thats certainly not for beginner ( good WOB only with horizontal tream is one but not the only reason )
I think its the reason why draeger continue with Ray but not with Dolphin... and the UBS 40 is just between them so good choice IMHP except the price prob which is THE prob here.
For me the heavy Azimuth and the Toy-built Submatix are not choices.
Speaking of bailout if you need what the prob with taking any additional tank sidemounted with the UBS 40, just preparing yourself or your students to the next step ( CCR ).
For my club Ive considered the UBS 40 only the price was an issue.
Just my two cents
