Hello from Jules

Hello

Well I had to turn up here eventually didn't I ?

I don't have a rebreather and can't afford one yet. So you might say I am "just looking" .. ... For now.... there must be phrase for the person who is rebreather-curious.

We do get our bonus in august though.. and I will need something to entertain me when i get back from Galapagos.

Biography for people who dont know me...
I am small and noisy and like diving and have a very low tolerance to all narcotic substances like nitrogen and Alcolhol.

I will probably just read but feel free to point to anything that looks like "beginners guide to rebreathers"

Jules,
Welcome to Rebreather World!
We like small and noisy

feel free to chime in anytime

As far as the phrase goes that you are looking for, I belive it is refered to "lurking" or something along those lines....
Anyway, that sure is fine to just read around and wet your appetite of diving a rebreather. RBs are great for diving in the Galapagos..... I just had to write that

Well, look around, read as much as you can about RBs, don't hesitate to ask questions, plenty of friendly Rebreather folks here who are willing to help. And maybe sooner than later try one of those rigs out, just to see how it feels.

Again, welcome on board!

cheers,
RBN

Welcome!

Richard Pyle's Learner's guide is better than a beginner's guide because--although it covers the basics--there is definitely stuff in there you would likely not practice in your MOD 1 course, like "dead reckon" loop gas mixing.

You will love the Galapagos! I brought a CCR to the Galapagos in 2005 and was thankful for it every dive, except when filming whale sharks. For that nothing beats a streamlined OC unit. If I only could go back there and dive for months for cheap. Any Ecuadorian's out there have a good-looking sister you want to marry off?

Honey, if you are reading this, I am kidding

Welcome Jules,

I wondered when you might make it here. We had a fabby time at your 21st birthday party the other month. It was great to see you again. Have a great time in the Galapagos Is. I'm not jealous or ought

Thanks for the link teksimple. i will take a browse at work tomorrow...
All i see right now is a HUGE learning curve and lots of money.... but H promises me it's worth it because the fish don't run away from you.

off to lurking mode now, lots of reading and I will start asking stupid questions when they arise...
