Yes I have ~100 hrs mCCR but like Phi mentioned Leon gave me about 5 minutes of "here's how to calibrate..." and away I go. I don't see this being a major issue. I thing the copis will be a good entry level breather for those who will eventually invest in Apeks or some other eCCR unit down the road.

Hi Dave,
You would agree that a potential user should know how to flow check the unit, calibrate the displays and HUD correctly, and adjust the flow rate. So i would assume a crossover for a meg certified diver would/should include this. I don't think anyone is saying a eCCR diver is unable to watch the PO2 and run the unit manually (assuming they had good training).
This situation is similar to a classic inspo diver going to a vision unit. They need a bit of guidance to get started.
.
Yes I agree. Aside from standard meg training this module should still take very little time. Ron mentioned combining eCCR upgrade with say normoxic trimix and that seems like a good training upgrade option. What do people do who say purchase a hammerhead for their meg or whatever? They read up on it then dive it do they not?
