Choices

Looking to purchase a rebreather and have it narrowed down to two (2) choices. The KISS and the Optima. I now quite a bite about both , but just wanted to bounce to ideas off everybody and see what opinions i get back on the pro/cons of units and general preferences.

Thanks all.

Welcome to Rebreather World

That is a very broad statement/question. What are the reasons for narrowing it down to those 2 units, and what information are you looking for that would help you in making a final decision?

Hi Colt:

Welcome to Rebreather World. I am a total nob when it comes to CCR, so can't be of much help to you with this final decision thing. However, I am curious how you arrived at the final two... When I was making choices, it helped to look at the types of diving I intended to do on the unit and the conditions in which those dives were going to be made. Perhaps a little of that sort of BG info would help others help you

Colt,

You need to decide if you want to go MCCR or ECCR answer that question and you have made your choice. I would go the MCCR route for a first rebreather but that's just my opinion. Both unit are very good I have even fitted a Hammerhead to my Classic Kiss.
