Today is an exciting day.... I have ordered a Meg.

Thanks to all for the great postings, that helped me immensely in my decision to choose this great piece of gear.

Who are you doing your training with?

**jepuskar** · 28th December 2006, 18:14

Hey what are you still doing on this board? Arent you out shopping for Aqualung MistrIALS?

head is ok..lol, thanks for asking.

LakeLover · 28th December 2006, 18:34

Yup, I was told 3 months, maybe a bit less.

I am quite excited. I have been day-dreaming about owning a Rebreather for a few years now.

I am training with Mad Dog Expeditions out of the city.

Hi Lake,

Could you briefly go over the points about the Meg that sold you on the unit?

Thanks,

Jason

Jason,

I decided on the Meg because:

1. rugged construction/design (AL beats plastic)
2. Modularity allowing customization
3. reputation for excellent customer support
4. computer/valve/tank mount/head interchangeability
5. reputation of the unit on RBW
6. my instructor dives it, but owns several other units
7. evryone has a yellow plastic box it seems, and I don't want to be everyone
8. it looks so cool!

I have been comparing all of the models for a few years now, and what REALY sealed the deal for me was the customer support that Meg owners enjoy, and that Inspo/Evo owners seem to covet. I am a newbee as well, never been on a Rebreather before. I wanted to make the most informed and balanced decision possible. Hope this helps! Also, check out this link where Cedric explains his preference: http://www.rebreatherworld.com/close...spiration.html

Yes, that helps a great deal. I find it interesting the different answers I get when I ask that question.

Congradulation on your choice of breather you will not be disappointed. So far from my limited experience I have been very satisfied with my Meg. You will be also very happy with your choice of instructor I have done both my Kiss and Meg crossover with him and he is right on.
