![]() | Yeeeehah!!!!!! Well boys and girls, after all the weeks, months, doubts, encouragements, etc, etc - it's here! My Optima with all the goodies, my VR3, bail out, boxes, bangles and bags (to paraphrase Dr. Seuss) arrived today from Dive Rite Express. I start my training with John Jones in just a few weeks and I am PSYCHED! Now comes the hard part... learning the thing right! ![]()

| EBT called me stroppy! Current Rebreather/s: | Re: Yeeeehah!!!!!! Congrats! I'll guess you'll also find the unit surprisingly easy to dive. I see you live in N'awlins. I had fun at the first weekend of jazzfest this year. ![]()

![]() | Re: Yeeeehah!!!!!! Thanks all! It took about a week from the time it was truly ordered. So, not too bad... though I have to confess I followed it's progress from Florida to NOLA with rapt attention. Ahhh, I know... I have no life! My better half heard me rustling through the packages last night... her comment? "Like a kid in a candy store...!" ![]() Who am I to contradict THAT!?! I'd like to write up my own thoughts as I go through the training and begin to really dive the unit and share them here... Let you know as I progress. Welcome to the DarkSide!

If my pool experience is indicative, then you just might find it easier to adjust to than you think. it was the most comfortable and well balanced of all the rebreathers i tried. happy diving ![]()
