New Optima diver... soon!

MarcLaukien · 11th February 2007, 22:58

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself: Marc Laukien, living in North Palm Beach, TDI Trimix and NSS-CDS Cave certified. I ordered an Optima FX, and will hopefully get it later this month and start my Rebreather training early March. I hope to be Trimix/Cave ready on my RB this summer, time permitting. I realize that I will have to do a lot of basic training first before I move on to cave/deep stuff with the RB.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the training! If you are looking for a Rebreather dive buddy in the North Palm Beach area, let me know.

-- Marc

Last weekend, I finished my Optima training. My instructor was Mark from FillExpress (aka "n2diving"). For those of you who seek Optima training, I highly recommend Mark. He is very knowledgeable about the Optima, and was very thorough during our training. He took a lot of time to go over the setup, which I think is very important for new Rebreather divers. I really enjoyed the class, and I'm looking forward to do a lot of RB diving to gain experience.
