New Rebreather owner

Yeang · 11th May 2006, 18:11

Hi all!

I just recently acquired a used Drager Dolphin (have been certified on the unit for a while now) and hence have become a rebreather owner! (of sorts, to alla youse CCR people).

I live in Boston, MA but generally do most of my diving in the tropics... I've dived around here before, and I'm a wimp for cold water! I've been diving for about 5 years now, and spend quite a bit of time on underwater photography.... nothing great, but here's some of my stuff:

UW photography is the main reason I went for a Drager instead of a CCR. The only thing I could have afforded would have been a Sport KISS, and I didn't want to have to deal with the occasional O2 topping up as sometimes I find myself stalking skittish creatures that require my hands glued to the camera. i.e. any movement including moving my hand back to hit the O2 add valve will probably scare it back into its hole.

Anyway, see you guys around!

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.

Great photos- I really like the color saturations and the use of light.

Any plans to modify the unit?

There is a great cast of characters here that are always up to no good.

Please feel free to jump in, ask questions, and join the group complaints.

Again congrats on your new rebreather sir.

Regards, Andrew
