Hi all,

Just wanted to say hi

Just got back from Thailand and am now a certified SCR Draeger Dolphin diver

Course was very cool and learned a lot (that will also imfluence my OC diving).

Cheers,

Gonzalve

Gonzalve,

NO! NO! This is supposed to steer you away from OC diving!

And what did it tell you about OC diving?

1/ Noisy.

2/ Cold.

3/ Gauges move to much.

Sounds good enough to me, all the influences are that you should stop OC diving right now!!

Hey

regardless of what they think

welcome to Rebreather World

Rob, yes, it was supposed to to that. And, in many ways has. However, as I'm based out of Singapore, its rather difficult to get as much time as I would like on a Rebreather. Many of the places I go, either don't cater to them, or flat-out won't let you dive them.

I've got as a mission to get as much time on one as possible in the coming months though...

Next step: after 30-50 more dives on the SCR, to try the CCR, and decide which one to buy!

huh? where are you diving??? Never had a problem anywhere (yet) in or around Singapore or anywhere in SE asia. Certainly never been told I couldnt dive them (that would be amusing)

Basically you need to bring along your own sorb (available in Singapore) or organise ahead.

Let me know if I can help.

Hi Gonzalve,

We are 30 min away from Singapore. Got DiveSorb and Dolphin for rental/purchase. So you just need to bring your fins mask and wetsuit...

I dive a Meg.

Any info just PM me.

Rgds,

Yann.

Mike: Layang Layang for one, but then again, its a stricly OC (AIR) place

. Which is debatably a very bad idea considering that you're doing so many deep dives during your stay there + no chamber. But hey, those are the rules

Still need to find out whether its possible to Rebreather for my upcoming Sangalaki trip early next year

But, would be very interested to know what you dive around Singapore (within a couple of hours) that could be fun + allow me to improve skills.

Yann: already PM-ed you. Thanks!

Cheers

Layang Layang resort have no problem with you using an Rebreather. You just need to ask them to arrange O2 and hand carry your sorb.

I have never found any dive center in SE Asia so far that refuses to allow RBs. Sure many dont have facilities - so you DIY but never have I been refused.

Where have you faced refusal??

Whitemanta.com will get you to some nice wrecks around Singapore (Igara is a great Rebreather wreck - Ive pulled over 4 hour long dives on her with no deco)

I often use B&J at Salang on Tioman Isl. for fishies

Dugongberbulu · 12th August 2005, 06:38

Mike, after thought, you make a good point , even LL never refused

, I just assumed they would (and we all know what that means about means

).

I'm going to be going back to LL next year, so if you've already dealt with the logistics, any advise would be appreciated

I'm such a
