Well yesterday at Lynnhaven Dive shop I VA. Beach. I got to take my first breathes off the loop. They had a tech demo days, and Pete Nawrocky was there from Dive Rite offering Try outs on their rebreather. I've already order a rebreather, and am just waiting for it to be built and such, but I wanted to see if I was going to like the idea of sucking and blowing air, instead of having it shot into me.

Well all I can say is why oh why did it take so long for me to make the switch????

I loved it, it was great breathing and not hearing all the noise. no rush of air coming in, and no noisy bubbles when i exhale. Man this is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I just can't wait to get my unit.

The only problem I had was getting used to breathing in and sinking, and rasing when i exhale, but I'll figure it out I'm sure.

COUNTING THE DAYS

Duckie - I told you so! Now all we need is a whole boat load of folks on the loop and then you'll really see the difference it makes. I'm headed south in March for TX cross over, full cave, and blender. Should be a busy 10 days. See ya around the pond - Karen
