Hello from left hand side of the Pacific

Hi all,

Being an air guzzling diver, always wondered why so called rebreather divers carring only so small cylinders on their bcacks when they splashed onto water. So visited this Rebreather forum to find out why. However unfortunately, never understood much about what you folks were talking about here. Probably my language thing? Seemed half true.

But now thanks to my rebreather instructor, I learned some about rebreathers and got certified as a new Meg diver in last January at Saipan, Micronesia. now and more I slowly begin to realize what you are talking to each other about.
Great stuff.

Living in country side in Japan I have no one to talk to about this kind of diving, , CCR, especially Megalodons. You know there are only 2 certifed meg divers (excluding professionals as instructors) in whole country? Glad to find a place to visit for CCR talk.

Bye folks,

You-chan Hori

Thank you all for the replies.

excuse me? Simon san, what family?
oh you mean like meg family?
great, is there such a thing. I was certified in January, that makes me a three months old and you are like my brother I never had!! Oh wait there is one in Tokyo already.

Great to be in the family. Thank you Simon san.
I hope there are some kind, loving and pretty meg sisters in this family too.

ようこそ. Welcome aboard!
Like you, I have been bitten by the 'breather bug.
I have been in Japan since '87. I have been lucky enough to dive all over the world, but have barely touched the surface of diving in Japan: I have 700+ dives in Izu, but few elsewhere. I would be fascinated to hear your recommendations for exploration. Last weekend I heard of a virgin wreck wrecked by pirates off Izu. It strikes me there are a lot of wrecks around Japan that aren't being explored. I'm not a cave diver at the moment, but I believe there are great caves to be explored. It's a beautiful country and I'd love to know more about it.

Give me a bell if you're up for a dive or a couple of cold beers sometime.

Cheers,
Nicholas
