Hi!

My name is Rob and I live in the Sacramento region of California. I have been interested in rebreathers since the mid 90's and have been reading and researching them ever since. I'm an PADI AOW diver with some Nitrox experience and have been diving for around 5 years now. My interest jumped from academic to "dangerous" when I found "Dr. Bob's CEDU" site and found out how simple it was to create a shallow water manually operated CCR. Since then I've read all I could find, gathered various bits info from Navy Dive sources, online DIY sites, Aussie Rebreather groups, IANTD dive tables, to simply studying various designs out on the market. I've even started a small collection of Rb's which I have disassembled and toyed with the inner workings. Thus far I must say I am in love with the durability and elegant simplicity of the KISS concept and am in the process of gathering parts to build a swimming pool only chest mounted O2 CCR. I hope to share what little information I've gleaned over the years and I sincerely look forward to seeing what other folks have done as well.

Sincerely,

Rob
