rebreathers are weird

david higgins · 21st September 2007, 14:50

hi all, i have now taken the plunge and purchased a draeger dolphin, all of my own, well shared with the wife!!!. i was a reluctant diver until the first dive then i was hooked and now reside in spain, where the weather is far better than uk. and have now taken early retirement which means more time to dive. the only down side is getting sofalime and other stuff sent to spain. but away from that, i am enjoying using my own rebreather, although a semi, and like the much reduced bubbles and noise. still more later

You think the rebreathers are weird, wait till you meet the people diving them.

Well they do say admission is the first step on the road to recovery...

Welcome Dave,

I'm sure you and your wife will have many happy dives, excpt for the arguments as to who's taking the unit for a dive next.

But you keep forgetting, it's Dolphins UNNANIMOUS, not ANONYMOUS, and we don't need "curing" of our units.

Go and play with your setpoint or something

And that's another thing, you may have left loads of chocolate on my car, but I'm still NOT letting you touch me THERE.

And it's a lie that if you take your finger out I'll sink.
