hi from Malta

Simon Ciantar · 12th January 2006, 20:36

Hi guys ive been following this forum for some time but onlyactually posted once a few months ago and got all sort of shit because i was deemed by some as not being experienced enough to be given certain info ! Anyway im trying again because i think there is a great pool of knowledge here which can be shared by all.

As a way of introduction

Im a CMAS two star instructor and have been diving since 1986 in the last three years have been diving oc trimix and last year took the plunge to CCR [inspiration] Still a complete novice with only 26 hrs on the unit , would appreciate all your help . Especially with alot of the abbreviations you guys use , so please be patient with me if i barge in sometimes and ask certain seemingly stupid questions as to the meaning of certain abbreviations

cheers

Simon

Simon,

Welcome to Rebreather World. I am surprised at your comment above, since I know that our folks are very good at trying to steer newbies in the right (as in "Rebreather") direction.

We have the occasional "sticky-bun fight", but those are in good spirits, and are not directed to newbies until they have a chance to get into the swing of things.

I will research the situation and will PM you when I find out what went on. Again, formally, welcome aboard Rebreather World!
