Journey into the Homebuilder's Mind!

Journey into the Homebuilder's Mind!
By Shell-back



While some claim it’s a waste of time, money, effort and a loss of true bottom time. I can only say that its those who look at things differently and challenge what’s available or seek out a better or different way that you are diving a rebreather today. With that said this is a pictorial tribute to the homebuilder. With a bit of all American red-neck rebreather ingenuity emphasis.

We have all looked at some one else’s design or product and said “I can do that”.



Borrowed parts and pieces designed for another use. You have scoured the isles of Home depot and spent countless hours in the plumbing department, only to be enlightened with new ideas and possibilities.



It continues to consume your thoughts, you now look at every thing in a different light, and yet you have early stage symptoms that prevent you from fully opening your wallet and your mind to safety concerns.



Just as you reach a point that you know more thought is needed you will find yourself pushing away modern devices that are design to help you make life easier.



With a little food cooked up on your newly designed portable grill perhaps you will have a streak of creative genius and show the rest of the world who you are.



You have visions of other diver tools you can make and settle on a DPV that will get you to and from your favourite dive site enlisting volunteers to do the testing.



After a few trials and some saddening results, you become the ultimate homebuilder and begin to take a shine on modifications of other available units.

While tinkering you find that your normal duties must not be neglected and you again become distracted.



Yes, everybody loves it and you are damn proud!

You know now what you don't know yet the voodoo science is still what dominates the basics of your design.



In the end you are a little poorer and a we bit famous thanks to the Rebreather World. you should keep up the appearance when out among us and keep at it.



GET ‘ER DONE!
