Belated intro

iani · 10th April 2005, 05:49

Just realised I hadn't posted an intro before, am used to a lot of the names on here from other fora, as I guess we all are.

Am currently on Phuket, Thailand but returning to the UK on the 13th April, probably for some time. As I type my YBOD is currently somewhere over the Indian Ocean on its way back so it's going to beat me. I did MOD1 in January this year and have now got about 34 hours on the unit, very much a newbie. Will now effectively be going back to square one again with having to get used to drysuit too.

Ian,

Welcome aboard Stuart Ford's Rebreather World Flying Circus. We are rapidly building the largest re-breather community for all types and stripes of re-breather creatures.

I have to say, poor you. From the warm, clear waters of Thailand, to Stoney Cove! Aieeee!!!

Anyway, welcome to Rebreather World, and welcome back to jolly old Blighty! How about some more info on your self, your diving, your rig, and lots of pics???

Cheers!

Rig is still almost standard, had to replace the O2 SPG when it arrived as it had moisture inside it so I have a Halcyon replacement (I like the irony). Will be replacing the harness once I have some useable D-rings and have worked out how to secure the c/l's though as I really don't like the supplied harness. Air2 coming off as well as it's currently detuned to stop freeflow, wouldn't want to have to breath off it though.

Ian,

There must be a room with a HUGE pile of Air2's in it somewhere by now!!!

Try Deep Sea Supply www.deepseasupply.com for some really fantastic replacement harnesses (muy comfortable) and some 90 degree D-rings to stick out from under the counter-lungs! Sweet!

Hi Mate,

When will you be back in the UK? We shall have to get a dive in

This Deepsupply offer a plastic / stainless back plate which I am getting for mine so I can switch the harness. It adds less than a kilo to the total weight so it will still be possible to travel with the unit easily.

Take care,

Andrew

Hi Andy,

I'm back on the 13th, will need a few weeks to sort drysuit out then I'm good to go so I'll let you know. I have a deepoutdoors harness/bp that I want to use as it's very comfortable plus heavy, I also have a Halcyon ally harness/bp that weighs next to nothing that I'd use for travelling.
