Hello from NY

jbarcia · 31st March 2008, 17:51

Hi everyone, my name is Joe and I am from NY. I am a wreck/deep diverdiving mostly in the NorthEast Atlantic. I have been diving for 6 years and I have been certified in Advanced Nitrox & Decompression diving and soon to be certified in Trimix. I am interested in learning rebreathers but I know nothing about them other than they can be expensive. What is a good rebreather to own that is going to last and that can be used for deep dives. Any extra add-ons you would recommend with it? And where can I learn more information. This website can be a little overwhelming, I dont know where to start. I was able to find the comparison chart however I would like to see what everyone recommends. I am sure that this is asked alot and I am sorry for the repeated question...Thank you for your response.

hey! howzitgoin?

first question to decide, its a philosophical one:

do you prefer eccr or mccr?

jbarcia · 1st April 2008, 20:40

I don't know the difference, but i am searching the forums right now to find the answer

mccr = manually controlled closed circuit Rebreather. this type of unit requires the operator to monitor po2 displays and physically inject needed o2/diluent gas.

eccr = electronically controlled closed circuit Rebreather, this type uses an electronic controller device, a computer, to control the content of the breathing gas.

but dont take my word for it, read the archeives and ask questions.

best,

Welcome here and a lot of fun. Read all you can and you learn a lot about the unit´s and their pro´s and con´s. This iswhat i have done before purchase a unit.

Cheers Markku
