Megalodon Rental in U.S.?

PacketSniffer · 27th July 2006, 03:20

I did a few searches and couldn't find anything on this topic.

A few people are in the planning stages for CCR training. There are two reasons that we would like to rent a Meg in the U.S.

1) Meg is not ready for delivery on date expected. This could affect the planned CCR training class.

2) Someone who would like to do crossover training with the eye toward purchasing a Meg in the future.

Under these two scenarios, where would one rent a Meg? Does Leon have rental units? Training is going to be with Tom Mount in Florida. Does that facilitate more or better options?

Thanks,

Richard

Hi,
I have two Megalodon for my use and training.

In effects,
I use them to take courses to those people that want to verify the characteristics and potentiality of this exceptional unity, or in the case that the dates of delivery and the dates of the training don't correspond.

Sorry I live in Europe

Best regards

Aldo

I would suggest that you contact Leon or Steve at ISC, they might know of instructors in the US that have rentals.

Thanks Johnny. I thought I'd ask in the forum first since I'd rather not bother them too much at the shop. I'm waiting on them to get APECS 3.0 pushed out.

I'll see if anyone else chimes in and then just shoot an email to Steve.

Cheers,

Richard

Hello,
If it was me I would have asked Tom Mount as he will have done this before and have many contacts .

Hey Richard,

When is your training????
I'll have some CCR units for rent soon in Houston and Dallas area. I still have one Meg and I rent my unit in regular basis down here in Mexico. Soon I'll have another 3 CCR's for rent.

Richard,
Gregg would have a unit for you if you train in FL

not sure how you would work out getting hold of it - probably have it shipped to Tom?
Anyhow, you might just give him a call and find out what your options are.
