Hello.Ive decided to sale most of my open circuit kit and buy a classic Inspiration. I have this day dream that Im stood on the shore at St Margrets bay with a yellow box on my back and scooter in my hand. I find one of the many local wrecks grab afew lobsters and head back to the beach and feast on there flesh... Mmm

Im off to scapa for a weeks diving next week. I think this will be my last open circuit diving. Then I will try and learn more about rebreather from you lot.

These rebreather things sound great where do I start...

Thanks

with Regards Rob

Hi Rob,
Welcome to Rebreatherworld.com!
Well, you have come to the right place to learn more about RBs.
Read up as much as you can, and don't hesitate to ask Questions here in the Forum. Plenty of nice folks here willing to help.

Well, I wish you all the best with a speedy sale of all your OC gear and your transition over to the "dark side" of diving

Again, welcome on board.

cheers,

RBN

Welcome to the Dark Side Trebor. I would encourage you to wait before dumping all your OC gear. Allot of it will still come in handy for CC. Carrying a fully independent bail out cylinder with its own 1st and 2nd stages, spg and low pressure inflator is standard practice in CC. Also, if you end up with a more open architecture rebreather like the Megalodon or Hammer Head, or choose to rebuild an Ambient Pressure rig (Inspiration or Evolution), things like a backplate+harness, additional regulators, hoses and a wing could come in handy.

Hello everyone,

I'm sorry, but I speak very little English, please forgive me. I began only in this new world without bubbles, I made only 2 dives with an IDA 71, now that I have taken gout, I think to start a submatix would be nice.
