Hi,

I'm part of a small group of profesional UK divers employing mixed gas SCUBA on archaeological/scientific dives. Having completed about 4 weeks worth of fieldwork using twin 18s we're looking seriously at rebreathers.

So I'm here to learn more before we settle on one unit. Our 'boss', a former SBS Marine favours a simple mechanical device, like the units he dived such as the KISS, as do I. Others in our group, our videographer inparticular, favours something electronic such as the Meg (not least because he was one of the founders of Custom Divers, though he's no longer involved, the UK agent).

But, as I said, I'm here to learn a thing or two and hopefully dispell and miss conceptions I may have. Who knows, we may even go for the YBOD!

Welcome here Lawrence,

Maybe in the future you can even tell us something about your project, as this is an interesting topic! I am sure you will find what you are looking for in here and learn something as happened to me, actually I learned a lot!

On an other note I saw the Meg at the Nec dive show and can say I am impressed with it's build quality and design. In Malta never saw one till now!

Good luck
