Congratulations to Thom Susko and Ashley Paterson, Brand new Meg divers!

RonMicjan · 20th May 2008, 21:34

Well done Thom and Ashley! We finished the course on May 11th 2008 with Graduation dives on the HMCS Yukon and the Ruby in San Diego. Thom is a diver with previous experience on Draeger rebreathers as well as a couple oxygen CCRs. Ashley is an experienced OC diver with OW instructor experience as well as Intro to Cave certification.

Thom purchased a COPIS meg second hand and had it converted to the new COPIS2 unit, which added a HUD to the system. Ashley was diving her new SuperLite APECS 2.5 Meg and the very first ISC released 5.8lb radial scrubber.

Both divers did very well in the course and finished with flying colors!

Of course you know that the funky colors are for those who are more secure with thier manhood... or uhmm womanhood

My meg has been "Powered by Pepsi" since a year and a half ago december and its two year birthday present of new anodizing. Funky colors are a must.

This was a very fun course to teach, Thom and Ashley were two of the most prepared and motivated students I have had. Its easy to teach a course with good students who work hard.
Need a few more meg divers in So Cal so Thom wont be quite so lonely.
