Rebreather in Stock -- NESS

John, Northeast Scuba · 8th January 2007, 18:17

Hi Guys, we ordered the first rebreather for stock. It is a Dive Rite Optima.
I figured we would also order a Silent Diving for stock also. I am trying to do a whole rebreather section the store and I need some help. Also, we are looking for part-time help and would love to have a rebreather diver in the store.

I appreciate the advice from everyone and was wondering what spare parts we should be stocking? I realize orings of course but what else.

Thanks John

Let you off this one - but if you want to promote your store on Rebreather World then support us by advertising!

Hey Stuart,

I didn't take this as promoting his store. Per other threads about Rebreather's not being welcome on one of his boats (they are) and his looking for info about stocking things like VR3s it's about coming into the RB fold so to speak.

In fact, he's also looking for an Rebreather diver to work part time at the shop and wondering what types of spares RB divers would like to see. I think we should encourage posts like this. The more shops that are RB friendly the better off we all are.

One a side note and I know this is a way off but we have a demo day for rebreathers where you can come and play with Optimas in the water on June 23rd.
I will also have demo days with the Silent Diving stuff once I work this out with Mike Fowler.

See ya John

john,
Have you considered getting ahold of Curt Bowen and having him do one of the Advanced Diver Magazine Experience Courses with your shop?

it's a wonderful way to introduce yourself and your customers to all of the rebreathers.

I too have ordered from them a few times and found them absurdly helpful with great prices.

Wow - this is getting good. NESS has the Optima, and Adventure Scuba ( down the street from Ness-outside of Phila) has the MEG and is offering instruction.

That is actually is a great idea. Who has Curts current contact info? The pool opens at the shop in April so anytime after that. Right now I think we are going to bring the Evolution, Optima and I have to contact Kevin Gurr about the Ouroboros. I however am open to suggestions.

We are also looking for rebreather instructors. My big thing is that they are knowledgable, safe and with a GREAT Attitude. I am looking for instructors that are firm but not your typical guy that is going to yell at a knew student or get ignorant with the student over what the instructor considers a stupid question.
