Greetings from Switzerland…

Dear all,

Having been a passive member (for “research” purposes) of this enlightening forum for some time, I finally took the plunge a few weeks back and completed my MOD1… Inspiration with an immediate crossover to Megalodon. The training was conducted at Pro-Tech (Phuket), where I had the privilege of befriending and diving with a top-notch instructor (Matt Partridge) and, as chance would have it, a first-rate buddy (Max a.k.a. “Swissdiver”). All in all, an excellent couple of weeks with expert tutelage, in-depth academics and no nonsense “wet work” (am still performing BOOM-drills in my sleep). Indeed, the Meg is ordered and should be arriving momentarily… Nice.
Looking forward to joining and/or keeping a close eye on the knowledgeable threads herein and furthermore to cross paths (hopefully underwater) with other esteemed members of Rebreather World in the near future.

Dive safe,

Carl

Hey Carl, glad to see you here!
I've been checking the FedEx tracking like every hour or so... Just can wait... They estimate delivery around the 5th!!! I'm so excited I can can't sleep anymore!!!
Take care buddy!

Hey buddies,

Dipping my toe in the "water", as it were... Defacto the first time I post anything on any forum. Indeed, I share the enthusiasm for next weeks delivery... Apart from the Meg I have something like 3 related deliveries of various bits and bobs... Can't wait to get to "work" and start assembling/configuring.

Matt - Will make a point of hooking up with you prior to Coron. In time we will know where...

Max - give me a bell as soon as you're back. I believe some diving is in order...

Take care,

C

Welcome onboard, had some MEG-diving with guys in Liguria with Aldo Ferrucci a few weeks ago. The MEG seems a solid rock rebreather, simple and intuitive. I'm sure You will have fun with it.

Save diving
