Dolphin CCR

Gary Gressett · 1st October 2007, 19:56

My KISS classic arrives this week and out goes the Dolphin CCR.
Built in line with CCR Dolphin designs on the web. Ron Micjan actually built the hoses and flow controller configuration. I added the Ocean Engineering backplate mount and tank mount, Tec Me 90's for the hoses and added a p-port for a VR-3 or computer sensor along with the oxygauge port.
Anyway, you'll get at least:
Dolphin body (Black)
KISS DSV (paragon)
KISS Injector with filter
Oxygauge (works)
Dolphin Cannister and Extendaire Cannister (3 cartridges)
OMS Backplate with Pouches
OMS 35# bungee wing
Draeger Hose Covers
Flow meters, o rings and assorted parts.
NO TANKS but Apek first stages and spg's.
I expect somewhere around $2,800 US and will ship at my cost.
You guys can trust me on this....it worked great!

This is not SCR capable anymore, I expect the buyer to be CCR trained and may choose to disable the unit if you can't prove training.

I had about 20 hours BT but ran into problems diving in the Gulf on commercial diving boats. PM me for information and pictures. Be patient since I am always on the road.

I will personally vouch for Gary and his unit.
We have been friends for a number of years and his transition has been very interesting.

Sometimes it’s tough when a person's number of posts are low but he is very legit.
I just have a lot bigger mouth….

Good luck on the sale mate; looking forward to seeing the Classic.

Regards, Andrew

What was your reason for getting a KISS, when you already have a MCCR?

Gary Gressett · 1st October 2007, 20:48

Edmund, It was part of the progression planned 3 years ago when I started training. You learn from doing. I wasn't sure of the KISS MCCR until I got hooked on the Dolphin CCR. To dive in Texas from a boat, your CCR must be of commercial construction so my progression to KISS was natural progression to dive the Flower Gardens.
Frankly, if my local scuba shop had not become a KISS dealer. I would probably still be using this in Mexico and local lakes. CCR for me has been small steps, lots of time and training, calculated levels of task loading and after 150 SCR hours, I was ready to do more.

I did not have good experiences with ECCR from the beginning. Over time, that may change as well. Besides, I don't need 3 rebreathers.

Take care,

OK. I'll put this on E-bay if I don't hear anything by Friday.
