Hi- have been diving LI wrecks 30 years, tri mix...
Getting close to my 50th birthday and my bones are telling me to get a re breather. OK so my criteria would be simplicity,reducdency, big numeral ! the geria\tric model! lol. everyone seems to love theirs and despise every other one-looking for pros/cons , unit maintance hassels, repair problems-issues.. btw the young man is MAX-known to grab all the burgers, and be at the helm of the Sea Hunter while Wes naps!

Welcome to Rebreather World.

You should be able to get plenty of input here.

By the way, I just despise some other models, not all.

Welcome! If I could remember half of what I have learned here, I would be a genius. This is a great place to find out more about which CCR will be best for you.

Good luck on your hunt!

Finding that the northeast wreck dive community seems to be using the Prism unit. Wondering how this one stacks up?

Andrea Doria claims another diver

David Bright, an acknowledged expert on the sinking of the Andrea Doria and a veteran diver, died Saturday after diving on the wreck about 55 miles south of Nantucket.
Bright, 49, of Flemington, N.J., was scheduled to speak July 25 at the Nantucket Historical Association about the sinking of the Italian luxury liner, 50 years to the day after it was struck by the Swedish liner Stockholm in a thick fog while heading from Italy to New York.
Bright, who collapsed after surfacing from a dive on the wreck Saturday evening, was airlifted to Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. An exact cause of death has not yet been determined.
Often called the "Mount Everest of diving," the wreck of the Andrea Doria, located in about 230 feet of water, has claimed the lives of 14 divers since it sank five decades ago.
For the complete story, pick up Thursday's Inquirer and Mirror.
