Hi everyone, My name is Paul Daniels and although im only a newly registered user I have been keenly watching and reading these forums for some time.
I currently own and dive a set of 12l twins with two 11.5l slings for the really deep stuff. I was recently about to make the move to trimix diving but after a lot of thought and the type of depths and times I want to be putting down I have concluded that open circuit is not for me. So what I have decided upon after talking to a few people is to attempt to construct my own MCCR. You may all think that I'm crazy but thats what everyone thinks about me so its ok by me. I think I have some good required background knowledge as I work as an Industrial electrician and instrument fitter as well as a computer tech so I have a lot of knowledge that I hope will help me in my pursuit of the ideal rebreather for me. I look foward to many hours of discussion with you all on these forums. Safe diving...

Exile,

Welcome to the boards, although I dive a well constructed, professionally engineered and manufactured Rebreather, so therefore cannot even fathom the process you are about to undertake to DYI. I do know there are quite a lot of divers on these forums who have designed and built there own units, so I'm sure they will be able to help you with the dos and don'ts of self-construction. I've got to say, my hats off to them all, there is now way I would have the talent or brains to make something I would bet my life on at 1 meter, let alone 40+.

Good luck, with the build, and of course, safe diving. And if you ever make it down to Melbourne to enjoy some of our fine, warm tropical waters with perfect visibility and world-renowned wrecks, look me up, it's always more fun diving with an unconstrained Rebreather diver than sitting around waiting for OC's to clear their deco .

Cheers,
Michael
