New from Ottawa, ON, Canada

Hi Guys,

I've been lurking here for a while, but have not posted to date. I don't dive a rebreather yet, but a number of my friends do. At some point in the not too distant future I may take the plunge as well.

I do a lot of diving in the St Lawrence river from Cornwall, ON to Kingston, ON as well as in Western Quebec.

I also run a dive business (Scuba Geek Canada), and carry a fair bit of technical diving, gas analysis, and gas mixing gear. Of course and perhaps of more interest to those on this forum, I stock SodaSorb, Sofnolime and other rebreather accessories.

I expect to be posting more once I get a little more into choosing the rebreather that's right for me...

Best Regards,

Mat.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I'll start shopping for a breather at some point, but not right away. In the mean time I'll continue reading and learning, and sponging knowledge from by breather buddies

Welcome!!

I typically make it up to the St Law to dive out of Clayton or Alex Bay couple times a year.

Welcome Matt

you know me from deco stop...

I just made the switch to a Rebreather.. I mean just.. I just sent a deposit to a guy in Toronto and going up to meet him and pay for it Saturday. I have selected the KISS as my machine of choice. There are quit a few people around here diving them. which helped my choice and well this unit is pretty much brand new and the diver has mad a choice to leave the sport all together after just recently getting it and taking his courses...

I could not pass the deal on this machine for that.

Hope you enjoy your stay here and find it a great resource as I have... I spent more time lurking and well...once my course is done and I actually know something and I am diving the rebreather maybe then I can comment more.

Safe diving

Chris.
