![]() | How old were you when you bought your first unit? The thread on heart attacks and the comment that Rebreather divers tend to be middle aged has got me rather interested in RB demographics. I'm going to be 29 in May so don't consider myself anywhere near middle aget yet but (appart from Beanie and Padowan) am I in the minority? Do people really buy their first unit when they are middle aged? Lets have a quick poll to see:

| Proper Boffin ![]() Current Rebreather/s: | I wish that between the ages of 18 and 22, instead of drinking £5K worth of student loans and gaining skills in speed and volume drinking ability, I'd started diving and bought my unit back then - I'd probably be quite handy on it by now!! |
