After a year of researching rebreathers and contemplating which unit, I am excited about the Pelagian and the oppurtunity to train with Stephan.

For those that have not had the pleasure of visiting Ocean Quest and the Bell Island wrecks, it is a wonderful place to holiday and train at.

C'mon, you know you want to. Plus, the bank thinks you're ready to take the plunge anyway

Good thing I'm not TOO impulsive, you'd probably get me with these tricks. The way I see it: the longer I wait for it the better the toy will be. There are too many breakthroughs in Rebreather nowadays to simply rush on the newcomers. With people like Andy Fritz, Bill Stone, Kevin Gurr developping, I find myself hoping for a "Perfect Frankenstein Machine" to hit the market in a few years, hopefully I'll be ready ($$$) then...

Shall I guess you're about to become a Pelagian instructor yourself???

I told Steve that I would come over and do instructor training if there was interest in cross-overs from CCR instructors. I have always wanted to go to New Foundland. I hear they have some really nice wrecks and I am also dying to taste their famous Seal flipper knuckle cartilage burgers with ice cold whale blubber fizzy drinks.

First things first... I have to become a Pelagian diver and then get some experience on the unit... and then convince an IT that I'll make a good instructor... so man, I'm years away!

Looks like my mate Dave (reCompress) is going to get a head start on me in Newfoundland. Glad you pulled the trigger.

Newfoundland is one of my favourite places in the world. Well worth visiting, and more than once.

Do your best to avoid any of the above-mentioned culinary delights-and others, despite the gentle coaxing of the locals.

You can't beat the fish and chips though. Oh, and they know how to pour a Guinness.
