hey pati, i'm thinking of going with either a mini meg or a meg up here in seattle. Have you been doing cold water dives on it? What size tanks are you using? how long do you usually dive on a set of tanks?...how long on a set of sorb? How long does it take/how easy is it to replace the sorb? do you use a decompression computer with it?... if so, what one? thanks for taking the time to respond to such a litany of questions from a total stranger.

George,

If you haven't already done so....contact Leon at ISC and arrange a time to drive down and talk to him and see the units up close and personal. It's a 90 minute to 2 hour drive from Seattle. I already dive a Meg, and made the decision after many LONG conversations with Leon and Steve.....but as soon as I end up out in Seattle for any length of time for work(I travel for a living), I will be renting a car and driving down for the face to face time with those that build the Meg and to tour the production facility.

Mike

I have to agree with mike H

Leon is the man, and has all the questions and answers that will determine what you need personally ...

Oh my goodness.

I believe that was more than the allowed 20 questions. Kick him off the island. I agree with Mike, phone the man. Yesh.

Come on, folks, there aren't that many Mini Megs I know of, and safe for a couple of pictures there is no info on the ISC website. The smallest scrubber listed in the sprecs is the standard 5.5 lbs, and the larger pipe dreams. Why they are listed rather than the Mini Meg I don't know. So George's questions were really quite justified. I would like to know the Mini Meg's capacity and duration, too.

By the way, hi Patti.

What is the cannister capacity (lbs. of absorbant)?

Patti, thanks for the tip, I saw the pics, that's where my COPI question arose from.

Actually, if you go back in the Meg gallery you'll find some trade ahow pics I took of a Mini Meg.

Hey Patti
