ANDI Megalodon Training Manual

***jradomski*** · 11th August 2006, 15:14

After 6 months of Hard work, ANDI's meg training manual is complete!!
190 pages and in full color. For those that have said the KISS manual was the best Rebreather training manual out there... This one is even better!

It can be ordered from your local ANDI facility, and will be available on the ANDI website shortly (we are in the middle of a web hosting change and conversion of the online shop, so please be patient).

The text can also be ordered by contacting ANDI HQ at 516-546-2026

Read some blups when Ed was visiting Leon's hatchery. Looked good. Would be nice to see this manual as part of the package when ordering your new meg from ISC.

So Joe,

Not a ANDI diver but I'm very keen to get hold of any Meg manual out there. Question is, how can I get a copy sent either to the UK or Ukraine. Don't suppose you've got any way of putting it on the net and people can pay to download can you? - I understand that people may well abuse this but I'm sure the technology must be out there,

Regards,

Nick

Nick,
its only a printed manual (heavy bond glossy paper).. right now the UK distributor hasn't ordered any yet (it should be available directly in the UK (as well as the rest of europe) in the near future) , but an indvidual can order the manual through HQ.. the standard shipping rates listed on the site are fed ex rates and they can be a bit high, you can email orders@andihq.com (or call 516 546 2026 and ask for linda) to get a rate using stadard priority post.. Mention you saw it on rebreatherworld.. (I cant say why for now, but lets just say it will be worthwhile)

(in the future multiple shipping options will be added on the web site.. there has been some problems upgrading the online store which is being worked on)

Looking forward to seeing the completed ANDI MEG manual. TDI's should be out soon so we'll have a great comparison.

Battle of the manuals.

On the KISS manual, I felt that the ANDI manual won by a nose from the much-higher print quality (i.e. vivid color photos, better paper, better binding, etc) and method of presenting the information (i.e. chapter lay out, etc). Plus some of the procedures were described in more details from experience.

If I was getting a Meg, I would tend to go for the ANDI manual unless TDI has improved the print quality dramatically.

In addition, if Joe R. has a hand in the ANDI manual, I know it will have tons of useful anal-retentive info...

Sure does

Not to mention all the o-ring sizes and component breakdowns..

I'm sure something had to be missed... but with small print runs its easy to fix.. All feedback is welcomed..

Hi Joe,

I sent the following email to ANDI about 4 days ago:

Hi there,

I spoke to Joe Radomski about getting a ISC Megalodon manual (as below). I am based in the UK and was told that it is cheaper to get it posted by Global Priority express. Could you give me a quote please and tell me if there is a special price for rebreatherworld.com members.

Many thanks,

Recreational Diving with Closed Circuit Rebreathers The principles and procedures for CCR diving.
Unit-specific courses for AP System’s Inspiration, Jetsam’s KISS and ISC Megalodon
Inspiration text with Checklists $79.95 special $59.95
KISS text with Checklists $79.95 special $59.95
Megalodon Text $74.95 free gift included

After placing the order online (it will be at normal pricing), you MUST send an email to orders@andihq.com
stating that you placed an order online and you saw the special pricing offer at Rebreatherworld to get the correct pricing.

I've not received a reply yet and was wondering if there might be a problem. Any chance of 'prompt',

Many thanks Joe

Nick

I'll check with Linda. She usually answers emails within a reasonable time.. I know a bunch of manuals have already been posted outside of the US since it became available.
