| First hours on the RB80
Hi folks,
After a year of thinking about Rebreather diving and reading books and many web sites I made the step of buying a second hand RB80. My cave diving was getting close to the edge of OC diving and the gas logistics were getting complicated. The simplicity and safety of an all mecanical system and its natural fit with my DIR / Hogarthian diving configuration made me incline for a PASCR. Alternatives in my evaluation were the RON, Tourill, AH etc.
After the first few hours on the unit I can say that this is what I was looking for. Now the challenge is to gradually build up experience, find proper training on the unit and convince the rest of the dive buddies to move on to Rebreather diving too, otherwise I will be still going to the same places as in OC.... |
