As if nobody could tell, I dive the mostly silent and well running Prism. Back in the depression I used to dive Dragers with mismatched orafices, but the thrill of shallow water blackout loses it's appeal after your first time...Andy

I am the proud owner and dive KISS Classic #155.

Nick, currently working in Afghanistan. Left back in the UK is my Inspiration with Titanium Box from DES, Philip Krolak OC/CC DSV, 4th Cell holder with VR3 link, still a relative 'newby' but will try and take a couple of months off from October and intend to spend it diving (exiled for tax reasons!). Anyone any suggestions where is good?

Hi Nick, I have dived CCR with the Golden Dawn in Papua New Guinea 4 times and every trip was fantastic, but it looks like she's all booked up for the fall. The Capt is a CCR diver, it may be worth contacting him to see if he's got any cancellations. Otherwise, you could try Simon Liddiard at Blue Marlin Divers in Lombok Indo. He has a small liveaboard which we took to Komodo with a few CCR divers. It was a very nice trip. I can't vouch for any other liveaboards, but I would say to stay away from any of the Hughes or Aggressor boats-not CCR friendly. Check the destinations page, from my own latest research I can tell it's very up to date. I'm going to Alona Beach in the Philippines in 12 days, my first Pacific land based CCR diving. I'll let everybody know how the trip went.-Andy

I've got a bog standard Classic Inspo, but time will tell - a 4th cell link is looming large into an HS Explorer, folowed by who knows what??

Many thanks for the advice - Have found a place in Puerto Galera in the Phillipines (mate did his DMs there) called action divers. Wher I'll do my Normoxic and full trimix.

Then a few weeks later will end up going to Red Sea (hopefully) to do my course on my new Sports Kiss - woohooo!

I dive a KISS (#134) since beginning of autumn of last year (2004). Have worked just fine. Did my CCR course for the Kiss with Michael Hansson in Norway last year. Planning to go for Normoxic Trimix CCR diver as well as Trimix CCR Diver course next year (2006) after getting some more experience on my KISS. The KISS is my first Rebreather I have ever been diving except in a pool.

I dive a Mod. Insp., have 2 dragers (they are Junk), a homebuilt version of an RB80 (very poorly built by me, I wouldn't dive it again, but have), lots of parts, I had a Prism, and have been on a Mk15, Meg. (great unit) and am trying to decide what to buy next.
