Hello from Southeast US

Hello from Atlanta, Georgia/Copperhill, Tennessee:

Since I have just gotten back my Inspiration/Hammerhead from a long vacation (getting its new handsets) and I actually am beginning to dive it again (after many months on OC..) I thought I'd say hi over here as I have not yet posted to this site. The site looks great and I look forward to learning a lot from you folks, and contributing as I am able.

Its nice to begin to see more CCR's in caves finally... I did a dive yesterday in FLA and saw a couple of KISSes, a new Optima and another Hammerheaded Inspiration - something I would have never seen a year ago!

Welcome to this beautiful board bud!!
I was wondering why you never joined this forum... but probably it was just like me... few time to post even though it was some time that I was reading the interesting articles.

It is a pleasure for all of us to have you in,
I hope you are going to share with us all your diving exparience... recycling your exaled gas!

For sure what you said is true: only one year ago was difficult to find rebreather dive buddy in florida ....
I remember how difficult was for me (YBOD diver) to find a CC buddy... finally I ran into you at Edd place...
I am happy that there is a so strong growing in the reb community.

Enjoy your new electronics and.... you know... you can come to dive the med sea whenever you want!

PS: how do you like my homemade bailout reb in the pic!?

ciao from me and Valentina

take care
gabry

Welcome you will like this board. It was nice seeing you Saturday and you missed some good dives Sunday at Madison. The viz was great and the flow down.

Madison is a perfect place for a Rebreather....I'll actually be able to do the far reaches of the Courtyard without a scooter now!

I know I can easily swim out from the end of Rocky Horror on an aluminum 80 and still have lots of gas to spare(enough to do a Godzilla room circuit and still have a reserve), so with a Rebreather team it will be no problem carrying enough bailout.

Maybe one day you can bring a spare Optima along, and I could take it for a test run...

I'll even let ya dive my Meg, if you could be seen on such a contraption.

It's the Optima man! It's looking good with the cover on it these days - last time I saw you dive it (several weeks ago) it was still "nekkid"

.. Glad Madison was nice... I'll have to give it a go soon as well.. Millpond might be next on the list though...

Most Def. Mike... last time was too long ago - I'm glad to see I won't be as alone these days on the 'breather when I'm hanging around cave country...

Yea, it was too long ago. You're lucky I'll still dive with you, though.....I usually avoid the guys with the white vans.

LOL - let's just say that more than 1 unsuspecting "wannabe" has been a bit surprised when I've opened up the back of the windowless white van and, Lo and Behold - a YBOD!!

- after they mistakenly take me for someone of another "persuasion"!

Better than taking a cross to a vampire! LOL
