Hullo Rebreather World

kev · 7th October 2007, 20:22

Have just got into CCR diving via some practice on the Dolphin SCR. Abit different from mega years of OC diving.
I have an O2ptima and am slowly building up the hours.
I live in Blenheim New Zealand (we just got put out of the rugby World Cup) bugger !
And my home diving is the Marlborough Sounds along with the Russian cruise liner that went down in 1986, the "Mikhail Lermontov" New Zealands best wreck dive/s. I have been guiding divers around her for all of those years.

Anyone else out there with the Optima and the latest Hammerhead electronics ? I am very interested in how you are getting on, what you are finding out etc ?

cheers for now.

Welcome aboard Kev

I dive an Optima with the new Delrin handsets and love them.

We did notice that on one occassion the HUD will not blink after the battery was inserted into the secondary hanset. Just remove the cap and put it back on, just a connection issue with the cap to the case.

I came to CCR from a SCR dolphin also.

I am sure that you will enjoy the Optima.
