I'm here because of Zak

matjo1 · 20th June 2008, 03:28

Only a few weeks after my IE ,the IT that certified me as an instructor died on a Rebreather dive some 3 years ago. I assume you all knew who he was. Rebreather technology haunted me ever since, but has slowly transformed itself into an amazing curiosity. Zak was a true mentor in every sense of the word, and his passion for the sub-surface has always survived in me.
I would like to thank everyone on this board who have experimented with the technology so that newbies like me can have a "safer" trip.

We have a fairly active group here in S. Florida, and we'd be happy to have you join us on a charter, or even chat apres dive over grub, and I'm sure you've probably run into a few of us before on boats... Many different units represented...
