Rebreather Qualified
Feb 2007

Club Member
UWA UC (OC only)

Highest Diving Qualification
CCR Air Diluent

Instructor Yes/No
Yes OC, No CCR

What other training have you found most rewarding
Wreck training - looking forward to the challenge of MOD2 and 3 though

What’s your standard Kit
Standard APECS Meg 2.01j, Trek wing, 2.7l tanks, and 5.7l bailout

Where do you usually Dive
In Perth

Number of Dives
400+ , 50+ dives CCR

Deepest Dive
42 metres lots of times (the magic depth I never seem to crack)

Longest Dive
2 hours on OC, about 60 minutes on Rebreather (isn't that the wrong way round ) but in Perth its hard to get a longer dive with MOD 1 unless you really like staring at crabs in the river.

Favourite Dive
Lots of spots in Manado, North Sulawesi

Worst Dive
- CCR - trying a dry suit (for the first time) with only a few hours on the Meg; flooded the loop and drained my bailout in the process of attempting to get to terms with the drysuit. Fortunately, I'd had the good sense to do this on a shore dive in 12m of water so I could hail CESA without any negative consequences
- OC - choking on an o-ring or something that shot into my throat through a dodgy second-stage while struggling against the current to get to the best part of a divesite, really thought my number was up

What dive/trip would you most like to do
1- Chuuk
2- Exploring Raja Ampat area for wrecks etc
3- Rowly Shoals
and the list goes on

What ONE other question should I have included?

What's the biggest downside (if any) to switching to CCR?
Getting the CCR and all the paraphernalia on a plane, particularly in Oz

For some reasons it is extremely hard to get a group of GOOD people together with a same interest.

I gues you all know what I mean!

still OC, POseidon regs, alu blackplate, scubapro C1 trilam drysuit. Hopefully before the end of this year it all will be called an Inspiration CCR
