Hammerhead's Down Under?

44gunner44 · 23rd May 2008, 13:34

I'm closely looking at the HH and the Meg and from what I've been reading I'm starting to lean towards the HH as the reviews of the unit have been quite persuading. Also the fact that they use Metalsub products and as Im the Australian sales rep for them, anyone who's willing to spend the money on superior equipment like our QRT system has a big tick in my book.

Anyway, Just wondering If anyone down here in the sunny country of Australia has a HH unit yet and is there anyone teaching if so where are they located?

Best Regards

John

On another note,
What's the expected run time of the radial scrubber in 8-12 degree water?

Hi I am also in the process of purchasing the new HH CCR. I think the unit is great.

Hi John, Barry Hallet of Southern Cross divers in Sydney had been using and selling the hammer heads for a number of years now.
He has had them on the inspriations sicne the start.
Teaching and selling.

There are number of Optima dealers now a days. I am not sure if they are alos authorised to teach for the Hammer head alone but might be worth asking.

Hope that helps.
BTW I have a good friend in perth that has one for sale, if interested.

Edit: sorry for any confusion, I did mean Hammer Head HEAD's.

Right now there are NO HH CCR instructors down under.. The closest instructor would be Tom Morato in the Philippines..

The next closest Instructor would be Randy Thorton in Utah...

A few potential instructors have made inquiries, but none has comitted to travel to the US to get trained.. For it to be worthwhile for me to travel to Oz, I would really need 4-6 students with 1-2 being Instructor candidates..

Always happy to make a trip to OZ if there are sufficient numbers of students!
