Re: Hi, intrigued and looking for advice

Hiya,

Well done for finding Rebreather World!

I'm always interested when people say they are looking at SCR over CCR, the KISS rebreathers have irradicated the price difference that used to exist (not to mention they are as simple as SCR's anyway) and in the UK we have huge access to ECCR in the form on the APD Inspiration and Evolution, I wonder what factors have you considered to reach this choice?
(I'm genuinely curious, nothing wrong with your choice though :-)

My advice would be- Do you REALLY want an SCR?
and secondly- Go try out a Rebreather, see if its for you.

I thought I did and looked at the details of usage, ownership etc and ended up with a KISS CCR, for me it is perfect. (I do a mix of diving from UK lakes and quarries, shore dives, inshore shallow dives, offshore diving with BSAC club members to 50mtrs and deeper gas diving (although not on CCR yet))

I've found CCR is adaptable to all types of diving
