Does anyone do a Meg trimix manual?

It all depends what you call significant: if you are diving every weekend then missing a few weekends in a row is a long time; if you're not , it's not. FedEx is very inefficient in Japan and takes a very long time; it might be faster if I lived in Florida like you. My Meg now takes off-the-shelf lithium batteries: thank God a friend was on hand to re-wire it, because I wouldn't have known and there was no manual I had on hand to help. I'm sorted: other people might not be.

You sound like the perfect candidate for the tech course. $1500 spent to save you the expense and hassle of shipping your gear to another country seems like good money spent. Forget about the only reason not to take the course and look at all the reasons to take the course. For you it makes a lot more sense than most of us.

Sounds great - only its $1500 plus a return flight + accommodation in Centralia to do the course. From Japan (and Australia) I imagine that adds up to a whole lotta dough.

Battery info is attached, your instructor should have given you a copy of this or sent you the link, but we all do forget things at times.

DO NOT rewire the battery compartment leads, obtain the correct molex plug and do all your wiring on the battery pack side.

I did a photo essay of the DSV rebuild Megalodon DSV Rebuild

Your instructor should have covered calibration at least 5 times during your course, contact your instructor for a refresher. If you have not been trained, I am available to give you a proper course.

As for the mixed gas manual, there is none specific to the meg as the information for moving to mixed gasses is common to all CCR's. IANTD has a CCR tech manual that is pretty good, but you will still need an instructor to bring it all together for you and drill you on the skills. I dont provide manuals unless you are my student, same as Steve. There is a LOT about meg training that is not in the manual, attitude, skill practice, bailout procedures, how to preform the pre dive checklist properly. The manual is a reference and companion to the course only, it does not provide all a diver needs to dive the Meg safely.

Hey Ron, did you post this on Rebreather World as well? It is a very well written article.
Good job.

But you guys could be the only ISC techs in Japan and Australia. Think business potential. Invest my friends, invest. Or, buy a Japanese or Australian rebreather and don't sweat the proximity.

Unfortunately for software upgrades it still needs to go back to base and they can do the servicing at the same time. If ISC could set us up to do the software upgrades locally then it could be worthwhile.

Isn't Steve James already an ISC Tech locating in Perth ?

Yup ... so rules out any real investment for me unless I start stepping on his toes and, like I said, he can't do the software update

Yes. The bit I don't get is that all this noise is moot given that Kieran has nothing wrong with his unit and it doesn't need an upgrade. Get back to work Kieran

I am quite isolated in Sydney in the moment being in amongst all the Inspos, as I am the only Meg in Diver in Sydney and it will be good to know how do things on my own for my own piece mind.

And praises to Rebreather World as well for minimising my isolation

Yikes.....You think you're isolated!!!!
