New Rebreather Diver

Warren_L · 31st March 2006, 05:19

Hello everyone, I've been a bit of a lurker on the board for the past while as I learned more about rebreathers. Been diving open circuit on twin 130s and am getting tired of lugging them around everywhere, so I finally took the plunge and bought myself a new Evolution rebreather. Looking forward to learning more and perhaps diving with some of you other rebreather divers.

Nice to see you took the plunge.
This technology does wonders for photography!

Thanks for the welcomes! I'm looking forward to learning more.

Cornel - great to hear from you. Haven't seen you around lately. Must be busy traveling? We'll have to get out for a dive or two.

Warren, you sure look comfortable and relaxed on your Evo. You definitly fit right in!

Can't say I enjoy Canadian winters. So I have teaching in Florida for the past few months.
Now that the snow is gone and the sun is getting warm, I'll start teaching here.
See you soon,

Cornel

Thanks for the welcomes - this board looks like a great resource.

Cornel - I think you got the right idea. I'd love to get out of dodge myself when the cold weather hits. I'm not much of a fan of winter (unless it is for the express purpose of skiing or snowboarding), otherwise, it just makes diving less pleasant. As for the Evo, yes, it feels great! Looking forward to getting more rebreather time this year.

H2o - thanks for the offer. It's going to be quite a learning process for me as I integrate my photography with rebreather. Handling my camera rig underwater on open circuit is second nature to me right now, but I'm sure I'll be re-learning a few things once I get it on Rebreather.

And yes, I'm sure I'm not going to miss lugging those doubles around.
