Re: First hours on the RB80

Sounds reasonable when you put it that way. Out of interest what sort of depth/runtimes are you doing and how many stages?

Official training on the RB80 is limited to GUE, or EKPP if you are actually part of their project, but as you say its going to be a while before you meet their pre-requisites. I know some folks who'd run you a 'workshop' on the unit, but this wouldnt give you any sort of ticket.

Another option of course is to train on a similar unit like the RON or the EDO04.

Personally, I'd be thinking very carefully about why Im on that unit.... have you really exhausted OC?

Good luck

(PS Dont forget all rebreather makes have their own little traits, training on one unit may not necessarily give you all of these for your unit)
