Hello

I have recently bought a Dolphin and i am shortly to do the course. I have been diving open circuit for about two and a half years and my passion certainly lies in wrecks. Went to Scapa Flow a few months ago which was every bit as enjoyable as i had expected. I really enjoyed the very basic penetration/swim throughs my very experienced buddy guided me through. I certainly intend to experience more of that and build on it. Thats why it is time for me to make the step to a rebreather so i can enjoy this sort of diving and in my own mind be satisfied that i am using the best tool available.

I went for the Dolphin as i wanted a relatively simple and straightforward rebreather that will start me on the learning curve. I suspect in time i will be looking to upgrade to CCR to enable diving of deeper wrecks, but thats a few years away. ( i am however already starting to look longingly at the APECS Meg

)

Oh well next purchase needs to be a VR3 to monitor po2 and to save having to buy yet another computer when i switch to CCR and then ultimately trimix. Just need to convince the wife i need a grand for another computer and bits

safe diving

Chris

Welcome aboard,
The Dolphin was my first rebreather also. It made the transition to CCR much easier for me.
There is plenty of info about all kinds of breathers on here and a lot of people with answers to all your questions.
Enjoy your training on the Dolphin.

Always good to have another Dolphineer aboard, just tell the missus that the computer is to keep you safe, and the life insurance is invalid without one...
