My first Copis subterranean dive

jojo l'affreux · 17th December 2007, 11:02

Yesterday, my firts Copis use for a push dive in a cave (south of France).
A 195min dive with underwater digging (20 min to pass a restriction) relining, surveying and looking for a way, but without success.

Interesting use of the Meg as a mccr. Good for multi-level dives not to spare too much O2.

Hello Frank,

Why did you change from APECS to COPIS?
Isn't an eCCR more "task load" friendly?

Hello Stéphane,

I didn't give up the electronic use. I keep it for sea and lake dives, and also for wide springs.

But for bottom-caves dives (sumps after a walk - or a creep- inside a cave), I am thinking in using Copis (need another head and another regulator).
Easier to protect (less thinks to break during the outside carriage), less to look at (only one handsed, no hud - but it could be useful), and easy to drive when shallow, up and down profiles (less o2 wasted).

I like Meg, quite a "2 in 1" rebreather.

Cheers,

Frank

Where is the south east was it ?

Going to France to visit my parents on Friday and until January 2nd, they live in Manosque where we're from (Dabisse, Les Mées, exactly). While I won't dive I'd love to meet up with local Rebreather divers and chat about diving in France.

Let me know if you're nearby.

Excellent pictures and a fantastic tool for push dives in a cave. COPI for push dives, humm. Interesting choice.

Might be the makings of 'CAVE II?'

Maybe yes !

But in that case, I am afraid I am more looking like monsters than (hollywoodian style) divers

Cheers,

Frank.
