New Optima FX Owner / Wannabe

**nthaggard** · 4th January 2008, 16:20

Well, after a couple of months of searching I decided on the Optima FX and purchased one today. I will begin training at the end of January with Mark @ Fill Express. I am really looking forward to learning CCR and hopefully dive with some of you next summer.

Welcome to the O2ptima mafia and to the ever growing Mark trained family. Hope to get to dive with you some day in sunny FL.

Hi Neill,

Congratulations on your new toy! I too trained with Mark earlier this year and am really enjoying diving my Optima. Marks is a top instructor - You will learn a lot!

We have a great group of active rebreather divers in Florida and run many trips through the Florida S.C.R.U.B.'s section of the Rebreather World Forum. Everyday, more and more of us dive Optimas, as Mark has done a great job of training lots of Optima divers. There are several of the divers down South that that enjoy the caves in Northern Florida, as well as the wreck down here, so the online group has something for everyone.

Perhaps I'll run into you while you are completing your class, as I only live a few miles from Fill Express and frequent it often, as well as diving some of the same boats they use.

Best of luck to you!

Adrian

Looking forward to you joining us S.C.R.U.B. divers soon. Some of us head up your way for CCR cave diving. So, we can all do that together, too.
