    Rebreathers & buoyancy

    This has me a little intrigued. I am into powerlifting. My diet includes about 350-400 grams of protein, with low carbs and fat. On the physical side this works very well. I was not aware of the difference in co2 production on high protein diets. Very interesting. I definately need to do a...

    What units have you dove, do you own and what did you think.

    I currently own an Inspiration, MK-15, Meg, Dolphin and soon to own a Ouroboros, I also have a Cis on loan from my uncle (saturated). The inspiration: I have owned mine for about 5 years, have put hundreds of hours on it. It is overall a pretty good unit and gets the job done. Gripes: The...

    To All Rebreather Divers

    I would'nt get to worked up over those statements, while true. If you get proper training you shouldnt fear RB diving. You could just as easily add those statements to microwaves, automobiles or numerous other items. Good training and common sense is what makes a good RB diver.....you could...

    CO2 Breakthrough

    Sounds like you overbreathed the unit. I've had co2 issues with a new scrubber when working extremely hard. Generally just slowing down resolves the issue. From your description I would say the co2 was a result of your respiration rates, not the scrubber duration. On a side note, I have a...

    Am i missing something--question for caveseeker7 and other RB gurus

    If you've done your research and feel the prism is your best choice, go for it. Many of us dive different units, we all think we have the best unit, and we are all right. Confused? Most of us went through the stages you are going through now, we all made what we felt was the best decision in our...

    Rebreather idiot with question?

    I think you would do fine on a breather. There is really no OC graduation to rebreather. Personally I feel that you are better off focusing on your existing skill sets than trying to go tech prior to CCR. Get your buoyancy down, develope your finning technics. Study and read as much as possible...

    HS Explorer, probs at depth

    I dive the rbj/cc wrecks at 260'. They sank one boat and were sinking a second next to it and it landed on the first. So its a pile up of 2 wecks..awesome dive. At around 300' we have 2 wrecks the bill boyd and papas reef which are also very nice dives. The daylight is largely dependent on water...

    HS Explorer, probs at depth

    Hi Guys, Using a new cell provided by Gene. The timer did start over. I am not overtightening the batt cover, just get the second ring inside and very lightly hand tighten. What position do you put the tang in? For example if I lay the computer on its back with the battery opening facing me...

    HS Explorer, probs at depth

    Hi Guys, On a couple dives I've had a problem with my HS. Yesterday I did a 315' dive. On descent passing through 200' the screen went blank. On ascent at about 200' it came back on. I'm sure its a case distortion issue. I believe that if the brass on the battery cover was in a certain...

    Making the move to RB need advice

    Some people collect baseball cards, breathers are what I'm collecting at the moment. Rather than sell a unit to get a new one, I jast save and add another to my collection..I quit eating out and drinking, amazing what that will do for the finances :10:

    Rebreather for tech diving, need suggestion's

    fltekdiver, Skip the dolphin. It really will not do anything your after. Its a great unit for someone who simply wants to do 60-70' reefs but other than that I would not consider it. I know of at least 4 or 5 that are closet toys because the guys outgrew them so fast. If you want to see some...

    Making the move to RB need advice

    I have literally about 1200 hours on my inspiration. The electronics are fine, no issues. Generally speaking most electronic related incedents I've read about are user error(ignoring warnings, diving the unit with a low battery warn, or cell warn ect.) I've spoken with several close friends at...

    Making the move to RB need advice

    For unit choice that really up to you. I dive several units and they all have strong and weak points. My advice would be to get some pool time if I could on all the units I was interested in. You listed the Inspiration and Kiss. I would also look at the Prism and megeladon. I have not dove the...
