35 years ...

... been intrested in them for quite a long time.

Been wanting one since around 2001, bought one in 2006, so around
5 years I guess. Did several intro/tryouts on various models during
that time, and lots of research.

That's what it took me after doing my evo mod 1, trimix and meg crossover (took the courses before because I wanted to make sure before buying)

Then I went for the meg, mainly because you can use any size of tanks and use a lot of tricks to adjust the unit and because it is not as damageable as other rebreathers I've seen.

At that time I was Tec Deep diver and I had around 150-200 dives.
How long it took me to get a proper stramlining and buoyancy ?

Well after 70+ hours..... I'm still working on it, but it's getting better
