Hello there

Hello everyone,
My name is Oliver Paoli. I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I am only an open circuit diver at the present time(Iantd Trimix Diver) I run a dive charter for a living and that's the reason why I don't quite own a reabrether yet!. However after collecting many pennies in countless jars I am about ready to purchase one.
I try to read everything I can about all aspects of diving rebreathers and I already have had countless Rebreather divers on my boat. Kiss evolutions Megs... I can't wait to get to dive one myself. Although I have a pretty good idea about the unit I am going to acquire I am still open to more infos to actually decide. I guess it is part of the fun

Welcome to the board Oliver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know you will enjoy the world of CCR's. I have a KISS Classic and enjoy it very much.

Hi curt,

I have seen the kiss up close and I do like it. I am wondering how deep can you effectively go with it due to the constant mass flow orifice that equiped the first stage. second, what about floding of the counterlungs. there is no real means to dump the water is there?

Hi Oliver- The KISS Sport 150' and the KISS Classic- 300'. If you have a bad flood on a KISS, you just bailout and the dive is over. The bailout on a KISS is quick and simple. You just turn the knob to OC mode on the DSV, take a few sanity breathes then go to your bailout bottle. In most cases if you have a bad flood, the dive is over anyway no matter what type of CCR you have. Check the KISS Classic out it's a great unit especially if you feel that SIMPLE IS BETTER.
