Hello from Maine

Hello from Maine. I heard about this site from friends on sdtechdiving.com. I am currrntly in the market for a Rebreather for most of the standard reasons and the fact that everyone I know has one now. I am in the process of trying to learn as much as I can before deciding on a RB but I am leaning towards a rEvo.

Welcome to the site Steve.

Buying and getting trained on a rebreather is a big decision, but I assure you you'll love it!

This site is a great place to do research, ask questions and get answers from experienced rebreather divers, and a great place to mingle with other rebreather divers. I have made many friends within this site and have had the opportunity to dive with many other rebreather divers I met here, even several from very far away from where I live.

Best of luck to you!

Welcome on board and greetings from Austria.
If you can get a HammerHead, it´s a great unit.

New England needs more CCR divers..welcome!

I ahve not dived a rEvo, but I've seen them in action and observed a tear-down. Very nice unit and would be my choice if I had to buy a rig. By way of diving up hare in cold water specifically, I've found back mounted lungs preferable over OTS lungs with a drysuit and lots of poofy undergarments.

hope that helps
