eCCR and operator required

PSquared · 19th November 2007, 15:11

After experiencing one of those “charlie foxtrot” solo dives on Saturday (reel jamb within 10m of the entrance, HID going resulting in frantic dil flushing because I thought I was “tox”ing due to the flashing just before failure and my backlight wasn’t coming on as quickly as I’d have liked, VR3 screen freeze at depth and getting stuck in an easy restriction on the way out) methought it was time to find a “buddy” as the mates on that trip are ugly and, quite honestly, not my taste. WTB (preferably lease rather than “buy”) the following :

eCCR (preferably compatible with Meg’an, being my unit) with a Mod 3 / full cave operator that is preferably compatible with me and fits in a small / medium ladies drysuit (which they need to provide), is approx 34B outside of the suit and preferably is financially independent and has their own stage cylinders, vehicle with winch. Needs to be able to camp and wash dishes. A booster will seal the deal. Will look at reasonable shipping costs to Johannesburg. Verna, Sarah and Collette, if you are on here, you don’t count

PM photos of unit, winch and booster

Hello,

Sounds like an educational dive. You got dedication if you're looking to buy, some might be looking to sell after that.

You might want to add a good luck totem to the list.

loneliness can drive a man to do strange things, the booster would be a nice
touch, personally I'd make sure she had her own boat & motor.

Calling me ugly???

She also needs strong legs and back to carry stages up and down the steps.
