HammerHead New User Report

Mixaddict · 25th February 2008, 00:11

Just finished up my HH CCR training in Marianna Florida with Joe Radomski. I had a great time, and have developed a serious appreciation for the HH unit.

Here are my thoughts on the unit:

1. WOB is very good
2. Radial Scrubber is fantastic, only changed it once the entire week!
3. the HUD is great! Very easy to see and easy to feel when vibrating.
4. Set point is rock solid
5. The manual inflators are very quick.
6. Hammerhead electronics are very intuitive and easy to use
7. Overall, very high quality components used
8. Trim is excellent
9. Very little water in the canister after diving.
10. And most importantly, it looks VERY COOL!

So far, I don't really have any negatives to report. I really like the unit!

Regards,
Randy

Here are a couple pics from the week...

Note that the new students had to build their own rigs....

hmmmm.... There's also a MK15 in the pictures but it has HH electonics too!

Congratulations on completing the training - Enjoy your new rebreather!

BTW, that last picture looks like you were all diving somewhere in the Louisiana Bayou!

Welcome to Merritts Mill Pond home of Jackson Blue, Twin Caves, Hole in the Wall caves.

We stayed at an excellent house right up the street from Cave Adventures..

Apparently, we were lucky with the viz, since the day after we finished up the viz went to crap due to a massive rain storm!

Congratulations to all!
Randy, can't wait to see the HH in person.

Congratulations on your new units! I wish I could have joined you for a day or two, but unfortunately, my work schedule didn't permit it.

Thanks gentleman for having a great time with you all.
As a real beginner I had a hard time with the Rebreather first. But the last day was
really acceptable for me. Thanks Mark and Ted for your encouragement.
Thanks Joe for the professional training.
Having a HH training together is a relationship forever, right Randy?
I cannot compare to other units because this is my first one but
I can fully agree with your thoughts. Maybe the buttons on the handsets are
a little bit to sensitive. Joe knows what I mean

Congrats, I guess everyone passed the test without my help!

Still waiting for my divemaster/photographer tips.

I will look forward to diving with you guys next time instead of just watching.
