Newbie hello

Just wanted to say hello to all. Honestly don't know much about rebreathers and don't know if ever I will purchase one. Honestly they scare the hell out of me but that is because I don't know enough about them.

I have been diving for a few years and own all my own equipment from Steel tanks to multiple BP/W setups, computers, etc. My wife and I travel a few times a year or more and I get my warm water diving in then. Mostly though I dive cold, dark quarrys with my dive buddy.

My main goal right now is just to read up as much as I can on the subject and take a few classes and ask a million or so questions. I have recently gotten more into Underwater Photography and like the idea of no bubbles.

I do not see myself getting heavily involved in technical diving. I am more of a recreational diver that sometimes would like to exceed those limits (safely). I know my limitations and do not take unnecessary risks.

That's me in a nutshell.

Rebreather's are very technical bits of kit, if you aren't going deep enough to get the gains in gas consumption from CCR that pays for the costs of purchase and training, have a look at the SCR options.

Rebreather's are as dangerous as the user.
