Greetings all

Well I,m kind of back
After 12 months I,m still out of the water and out of building rebreathers.
As some of you mite be awhere my marriage went down the drain and everything has been on hold since.
My home along with a lot of stuff has been sold and a settlement is still being negociated.
So what is left is in storage and will be until I get a house and am settled again, where I will complete my rebreather projects some time in the future.

I am out of touch with what has been happening and have just joined up to keep in touch with the many friends i made on the web and through rebreather contacts.

The website is down and has been dismantle for the moment but once I am settled will put it back up on line again.

Errol Harding has continued on in my absense and is still perfecting the StingRay rebreather.
From what I understand there are about 8 units out there being dived right now.

Ok I will check the site from time to time and catchup, just operating from my laptop and a wireless connection right now in temporary accomodation so I am a little limited.

Nice to be back even if it is just on the web

best to all Kerry McKenzie (Tubby)

Welcome Back!!!

Good to see you getting on with the good things in life.

Like many others, I spent considerable time on your site when I went to convert my Dolphin. I chose to do some things differently, but examining all the possibilities is a must do.

Glad to see you back,

Darlene

Hi Tubby,

Long time no speak. I'm glad to hear everything is sort of coming back on line for you.

Give me a call sometime soon mate.
And ghuess what Dan is coming back from N'awlins early June - you should try and make Sydney for a weekend reunion - you can borrow my Dolphin.
Speak to you real soon mate.
