What's your age when you first dove a Rebreather

Johnny Christensen · 19th January 2007, 10:30

Other than some very brief sessions of trying it out in shallow water, I'd have to say when I got my own unit in 2003, at age 31.
Judging from the amount of grey hairs appearing since then, some rebreathers seems to accelerate the ageing process

I was about 24 when I first had a go on a Mk15. It was, er, a number of years later before I bought a KISS.

First dived an Inspo Classic when I did my Mod 1 course in late 2004 when I was 38.

Hmm, it was about '92 so I must have been 24 or so. Didn't get my own till '98 though.

As I read the post , I thought of another thread :

After your first experience when did you know you were hooked , then after you were cert-ed and owned one when did you realize how limited your knowledge was ?

turn off ego now. I can honestly say I am surprised I lived this long with the limited amount of information that was presented in the mid90s during most Atlantis /dolphin classes.
