can I come out & play?

RAL · 30th March 2006, 02:20

Well after lurking around for quite a while I thought I might join polite society so to speak. I will not bore ya'll with a long speech on how geat I am so I'll just touch on the basics.
Started diving in 1978 in Puget Sound. That cold swift water taught me a thing or two about planing a dive. In 1982 I decided that I would become rich & famous by becoming a deep sea diver. I have managed to make a living at it these last 24 years diving the oil patch in the Gulf of Mexico & I expect the riches & fame must be just around the corner by now.
In the Early 90s I started cave diving & Stones Cis luner first perked my interest in rebreathers. After many years & a good bit of study I decided that the Kiss Classic suited my type of diving & temperament (slightly paranoid cave diver). I have had my Kiss for a couple years & have enjoyed tweeking it to my specs.
