Self Introduction

Hi all! I recently signed up to RF as a relatively new Drager Dolphin user interested in finding kindred spirits in my area at the doorway to Puget Sound. I've been diving open circuit for many years and also have an interest in historic diving and actively use heavy gear as well when I can find anyone crazy enough to join me. I'd like to experience using a CCR in the future but enjoy using the dolphin and its simplicity. I'd like to get a DSV/BOV to use with it that could be integrated with an AGA FFM that I have; I'd welcome getting advice and recommendations about getting one.

Welcome. I am sure you will find the site a wealth of info. I also try to dive the "Heavy Gear" once in a while. I have a MKV that is still operational but I will need a new suit soon. Do you have any connections for parts? Let me know and give me a PM if you are going to be in Victoria any time.

Welcome both of you guys!!! There is a very active rebreather family here in washington state. If you are interested we are having a CCR expereince June 29th where we will have most of the major CCRs (kiss, inspiration, meg, optima, rEvo) for show and tell and pool dives. So you can join on that if you are open. Also most of the CCR guys are on this board and will likely chime in. As far as BOV's the golem gear is pretty good, a nice safety feature.
Great White North, where about? I use to live up there too.
