A few hours ago I completed my check-out on the Meg with Andrew Driver of Mad Dog Expeditions. The course was thorough and comprehensive, and I feel confident diving the unit. Andrew is a top notch instructor and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

I purchased a Meg complete with a manifold for hose routing, a Golem BOV, ADV, and DIV, Cordura CL's, Steel 19's, an Agir wing, 2 steel Salvo backplates, and the Shadow Mounts by ISC.

The BOV is excellent; I love it. The manifold makes hose routing neat, and the 2 steel plates along with the steel 19's eliminate the need for any additional weight for me ( I weigh 200 pounds and am 6 feet tall). The Shadow Mounts are very low profile and keep bottles right up against the tank, but they can be a bit tough to remove.

Several divers accompanied us on our checkouts. A special thanks to my fellow student and kick ass dive buddy Steve Lombardi, who is a great diver and saved my ass more than once this course. Go Jersey Divers!

I have never met such a great bunch of divers; no arrogance, no hauty protocols, these guys were great. I am very pleased that I chose this road.

Thanks to all of you at Rebreather World for you exceptional advice and education over the last several months!

Congrats Shawn! I'm gelous as I'm still waiting for my Meg training (October). I wouldn't mind seeing pics of your setup either.
