Headed to the dark side.....

... of the force...

The question is, by which path?

I've been considering moving to the bubbleless diving world for some time.

I'm having trouble getting my arms around the various units however, in terms of cost, what you get for your money, lead times for delivery and parts, and other related issues.

As a consequence I'm considering building one instead. Indeed, I've already got the setpoint controller working in prototype form - on a bench, of course, which isn't exactly "ready to dive", but it IS working.... (and a rather unique design from what I've seen in the market, from a standpoint of the user interface, monitoring, control, etc)

Anyway, just poking my head in here - I'll probably ask plenty of questions (maybe even some inconvenient, probing ones) and see what's up....

Thanks!

Welcome onboard- Ask away, I'm sure we can take the questions in stride. You will find that there is alot of good information in this group that is willing to be shared. Welcome to the dark side. Building your own Rebreather is quite a task, good luck and have fun.

Sincerely,

Curt
