Welcome ron, this site has been invaluable in helping me find the right breather for my wife and I. You are right, IMHO, rebreathers have arrived! I caught the bug about four months ago when I saw three people finishing a dive at a local site who were on rebreathers... ever since, i've been learning as much as possible and expect our evolutions to arrive next week. We begin training next thursday!! a critical mass is being reached around here in seattle. While still pricy, they have come a long way and are in reach for people who want to stay down longer, if not deeper.
happy reading, it wont take long before you start wanting to

Hi all,
My name is Ron, I am new to the forums and wanted to say hi. I do not dive a rebreather as of yet, however, I have been following the development of rebreathers for about a decade now and really do think that rebreathers are the direction that sport and technical diving are heading in.
I am an industrial designer and an avid diver, mostly technical type wreck diving. This looks like a great forum, and I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you guys.
Ron
