Hi all u out there with mccr hccr dcccr etc

- I´m just an AOW-bubble-maker,

but have set my eyes fixed on the Pelagian. I´ve had the idea of trying out the Dolphin as a beginning to the CC-world, but after seen a few comments here

indicating that this SCR-step to be avoided, unless one wants to remain there (cost, training etc). Realising that I´am facing some

challenges, being 65 years old in this new Diving World of CCR´s, hoping this Forum will light on some of my ?????

Hi - Shell-back - and sry for my late reply - but didn´t locate yr reply before a few Days ago

- Busy with a lot other things -

As I´m a "havy air-user" - always the first to return to the boat, therefore considering a change to the Rebreather, but I have n o what so ever experiences in this; to be started from scratch

.
My divings have been (Egypt) Red Sea - (Thailand) Phuket - (Dom.Republic) La Romana - to dephts of 35 meters - . My primarily divings are the tropic enviroments - and also to see/learn other countries/people - and that have been quite some educational experiences.
But back to basics - I have the PADI AOW and will have to start from bottom I guess !
