Rebreather Brothers?

Ant Slegg · 29th May 2007, 12:16

Having just got back off the trip mentioned by Ben in his post "Loop Drying, between dives ?" I wonder if anyone can answer the question how many siblings (brothers, sisters) are out there diving rebreathers together (one KISS and one Boris).

I ask because myself and my brother were both on this trip and in the small(ish) world of Rebreather divers the numbers can't be large, although I doubt our 47m dive would have set any kind of record.

I'm diving a Classic Kiss and my brother just finished MOD1 on a Sport Kiss.
We should be diving them together soon.

It seems it's a smaller club than I thought :-)

Aren't we all "brothers-in-arms" ?

Stefan,

You are too damn clever sometimes...

Well spotted that man - someone changed the name on Ant's dive bag from 'Ant Slegg' to Ant'Slegg' many years ago. The culprit is lost in the mists of time, but remains celebrated in club lore...

Cheers,

Cheers,

Now then Tango, more respect to your elders and betters(?). I remember when you were a trainee in a bright orange suit who changed his kit so often it was a toss up between "Tango" and "Water Soluble" (as in he changes his dive kit so often it might as well be water soluble).

PS Ron sends you his love....

Me, respect? The problem is, quite a few of the people who taught me what little I now know about diving are on here, so I'd better be careful :-)

I've tried to change, honestly, but the temptation remains too great!
