| Re: Rebreather Migration
I believe Rebreather divers are technically oriented and comfortable with innovation and evolution. As a result, trading up or down is determined by a variety of factors that may include a perceived/real need to get something that fits or exceeds the needs of the mission as well as fulfilling some vanity needs. There I said it.
In the earlier days of the Rebreather diving (and that was not too long ago) I certainly remember folks thinking it was the bee's knees to have the latest tricked out piece of kit and show up with the newest version of the Cis-Lunar, or reminted MK's. For a minority it was a self esteem tool.
If anything, the variety of Rebreather's out there allow for a healthy level of competition and a necessary evolution of the species. |
