So much for my brief interlude in Rebreather World. I have been usinmg rebreathers since 1992 and will continue to do so - but as Henry Cooper once told me - Don't mess with amateurs. It only ends in tears.

Hi John,

Yes we know you have been using CCR since 1992, so perhaps just as an idea to quantify your immense professional experience on the subject, for me and the other amateurs here, could you tell us what CCR(s) you own (or have owned).

Perhaps, again, in an attempt to add weight to your statements, you could also tell us what certification level(s) you hold and how many hours you have obtained using rebreathers, since 1992.

Many thanks in anticipation of your reply,

Dave Cooper.

A thread with a title like that, how productive does anyone think it will be anyway...

better than this one

personally)

I was told about a thread here with this title so I thought I should introduce myself:

I was born in the middle of the 20th Century.
I started my career, cutting the throats of innocent young men who were merely doing the bidding of their own government. We quietly won that war while the Americans noisily lost another nearby.

Welcome, from an American that started his career in that other noisy war trying to blow up as many innocent young men as I could before they could shoot me down.

I agree being retired and a dive bum is a lot more fun
