Hello From Canada

Hey everyone

My name is James, I am 22 years old, and I am an advanced diver with 3 specialties going for my DM.

I was on a dive a few days ago and all of a sudden this guy scared the crap out of me when he swam by with a little pack on his back and no air bubbles. I got to talking to him on my SI and we were talking about his re-breather and i am pretty pumped to learn more about them.

thats my story!

Welcome to the forum!

The manual for the APD Evolution is quite good (and free to download):
Ambient Pressure Diving Ltd.

I have also made a small simulator for the Evolution

You may be interested in other models, but the manual and sim should give you some general concepts about how an eCCR (may) work :-)

We also scare boat operators who are not used to their divers staying down for 2 hours

Welcome to the forum.
There aren't many Rebreather divers from Canada, but we make up for that by being fairly certifiable.

Good to see another BC boy coming to the dark side

We are starting to get quite a few Rebreather divers on the Island and if you are interested in seeing a few RB of different makes and modles let me know and we could arrange a dive if you want. Right now there the guys I dive with have a Evolution, Meg and a MCCR Dolphin as well I know of an Inspo clasic in the local area. Lots of good info here so don't be afraid of asking ??
