Jeff, just make sure you don't scooter with your Optima deeper than 100ft of depth around a Meg, because they just get all embarrassed and upset at the fact that you can go anywhere they can go, even though your rebreather is lighter, more streamlined, near impossible to flood, more colorful, and it's scrubber can be packed in approximately 45 seconds, which is like 20 minutes faster than it takes them to do it!

So just stay away from them, that way you won't keep rubbing salt in their wounds!!

Oops, I almost forgot to include my end zone victory dance!!!

That's just too funny. Terribly innacurate, but still funny.

BTW, I never said they couldn't go where other rebreathers go, but it just seems their users don't seem to take them there

Just because the KISS and Optima reached its limits @ 400' and 4000ft. in, doesn't mean that the Meg diver could not continue. He was probably just being nice to the other two and went back out...

Just kidding, 400' and 4000ft. is massive, beats me anytime

Kudos to all 3 of them.

First, it would require someone setting up the trip and extending an invitation. (Sorry, I can't make the upcoming liveaboard.)
