G'day Everyone,
Iv'e been visiting the site now for a little while and thought it was about time to add a post.
I live in Victoria, Australia and have been diving for two years now. I have always, since the first dive course known that I wanted to go with a CCR over OC.
One thing that seems to be a daunting task is working out which CCR is best suited to the diving that I want to do. Unfortunatly I'm the kind of person who learns with a hands on approach and thats very hard when you don't know anyone who is diving one. I have been following the threads and have been trying to identify parts of the rebreathers as people have spoken about them but unless someone points it out and tells me what it does and whether or not i'm allowed to pull it apart, I guess i will never know.
CCR's Im seriously intrested in are the Meg and the new optima, one I'm curious in is the new prisim by Oceanic (Hollis) not to say i would buy one of these as I have thrown away or sold all of my OC Oceanic gear because of shite service and poor quality in manufacturing and I'm keen to see if that has followed over to the new rebreather.
Apart from that, I've owned a sports nutrition company for 5 years that I started from nothing, a farmer who specializes in breeding Hereford stock cattle and who loves diving, riding motorbikes and plays American Football and in my spare time.....well I really have none of that.
Anyway a bit of a ramble but thats a little about me.
Regards
John
