Intro: -Choosing my dream Rebreather

Hornet · 8th September 2007, 01:05

Hi there honies!

I've decided to commit myself to buying an Rebreather. The kind folks down under on the Dive Oz forum and friends from BSAC Sydney have suggested joining you lot on Rebreather World on my quest to find my dream RB. I'm a PADI Instructor, BSAC member and TDI Extended Range Diver. So far I feel that eCCR would be a smarter choice for me rather than a mCCR and this is about as far as I've got so far. Look forward to hearing from you!!!!!!

Kind regards,

'Bec (Hornet)

Hi Bec
Welcome to Rebreather World.
Plenty of Aussies on here, actually I think 90% of Rebreather divers from down under frequent these boards.

Best local people and instructors in Australia to call and have a chat too

CCRDiving: Steve James for Megs and Kiss's
Southern Cross Divers: Baz for Inspos and Evos, Kiss's
Dive Dive Dive: Jason for Inspos, Evos & Optimas, Kiss's
Image Dive: Luke for PRISM's & Optimas

Of course there are many other units on the market but these currently are the most supported Units in Oz.

Best of luck with your search.

Cheers
Chriso

Welcome to Rebreather World

There is a lot of info here

Here is a start...

I found these videos a great help.

They are from DEMA last year, and they display the Rebreather's in some detail and the vendors give a talk on them.

DEMA 2007 is happening in November and there might be a new batch then.

Unfortunately OzTek isn't happening till 2009 so you can look at things locally

And here is my Journey

Good Luck with it!!!

Well, there's lots more rebreathers out there than there was a few years ago when I got Classic KISS.

Sit back and enjoy the journey, you are the only one who can make the decision.

BTW - if I had my time again, I would be seriously considering the rEvo II...

Have a look at the video clips in the gallery section on rebreatherworld and watch the Dema 2006 collection....that will give you an idea of some of the different CCR models available and their particular selling points.

Welcome aboard.

Although I don’t know what your full plans are – range and type of diving you’re interested in. A good choice to start with is the Sport KISS. It maybe manual vs. electronic, but they are easy to setup, dive and clean. Best of all, there are relatively (for CCR’s) inexpensive.

We ran a good article on CCR’s targeted at recreational divers in our third issue (see back issues) of the www.underwaterjournal.com

CK isn't eCCR, but mCCR-if I don't close my Dolphin that's the way I will go, being a mechanical engineer, I don't trust all those electronic gubbins...

...and it has a 'proper' warning on the scrubber.
