Who the hell dives rebreathers?

**bathtub** · 7th November 2006, 21:25

It's not your normal common or garden diver that wants to dive, let alone build their own rebreather (I propose).....
I would image there are a large group of specific people that would be into rebreathers, and indeed this kind of forum!!!!
So what are you..
1) Engineer of some form?
2) Services/ ex- military?
3) Techie (computers, electrics)
4) Scientist/ researcher (inc. photographer for me!)
5) Dive Professional..
6) A.N. Other

be intresting to see what the demographic is...
Look forward to it.

Hi Bathtub,

Will be interesting to see the results.
These days I'm a gardener, but I used to be a mig/tig welder.

an other:
health science background, M.S.

, currently practicing acupuncturist

...not a typical scientist at this point

... do pick up the camera from time to time and manage to take a half decent picture on occasion

Hummm...

I started as a Physicist (WMD), then into Electronic Engineering (large radio transmitters), moved over into computers (mini computer design) and thought I'd settled as a computer programmer (aircraft systems).

However my brother and I started a company making specialist instrumentation, were drawn into ballistics and then to a sideline that was an amateur air gun application. That now virtually runs the firm.

I hate to admit it but I think I'm a toy maker.

I'm a computer infrastructure consultant and database developer for international financial institutions. I travel a lot but most of it is work related

. That will change this week when I win Euromillions on Friday.

Well, I am not sure I qualify to vote as I don't collect my breather for a couple of weeks, but for what it's worth you have me pegged in the Techie department - I'm another codemonkey
