Re: Homebuild training and certification available

As the others have said, *if* I decide to mod my Dolphin to CCR so I can visit the 50 - 80m wrecks a certification would be great as it would allow me to buy trimix, use commercial dive boats, etc etc
Just now if I go to a commercial dive shop and ask for a trimix fill, or even 100% O2, most will ask to see a Q Card.
In time the major organisations (BSAC, PADI etc) might even be convinced to let us stay
(ok I'm getting carried away there..)

To buy a KISS for instance is another 2,500 ukpounds plus the money sorting out a used one to how I like it etc etc.
So why not a MCCR Dolphin? Purpose made parts are easily available and if I can get a bike/car/aircraft inspected and passed as a reasonably safe gesign why not a rebreather
