| The Draeger Dolphins are hard to beat, always plenty of them on E-Bay where they go for a bit over a grand. Easy to get spares and consumables too and a wide network of dealers round the world. Lots of aftermarket mods available as well. Very well built (essential on a RIB),
most of my CCR is built from Draeger parts, excellent quality, and simple if you follow the rules. Personally, I'd stick some form of oxygen monitoring on it.
The Ray is limited in depth and I wouldn't bother with it.
If you're buying new then I don't imagine there is a huge difference between a Dolphin and Sport Kiss (worth considering even though you say you don't want CCR).
As for training, it all comes down to instructor rather than agency.
Just my tuppence worth. |
