How many hours on your unit(s)

londonsean69 · 11th April 2005, 09:31

As the title says. Also, how long you been diving Rebreather's, and roughly how often and for how long you dive the unit.

I only have 4 hours so far

but then again have only had it for about 2 months.

I have about 35 hours on Dolphin and Ray and 17 on the Meg now - but this will be going up rapidly!

101-200 I havent added them up recently, Diving it since September 04 only just over the 100 having done my Mod 3 in Feb 05 and then got about 20 hours in on it since then.

Only managed it due to two red sea trips of a weeks solid diving each.

I did over 60 hours on my Home Build and still I felt like a baby

Around 6 on the Inspiration.

Just remember something Richard Pyle wrote a long time ago to the effect of...

"I thought I was a stud after 50 hours, but not until after 100 hours did I realize that I am just a newbie"

(or something similar).

Pyle said

"After my first 10 hours on a rebreather, I was a real expert. Another 40 hours of dive time later, I considered myself a novice. When I had completed about 100 hours of rebreather diving, I realized I was only just a beginner.

Now that I have spend more than 200 hours diving with a closed-circuit system, it is clear that I am still a rebreather weenie. In my experience, the underlying quality that divers must have to consistently survive rebreather dives is discipline."

I've been diving various CCRs since 1989 and I still have a lot to learn

Yes it was something similar and I think it is more than correct.
