On a large pile of smokin' A'a, the most isolated population center on the face of the earth. 2,175 miles to Alaska, 2,390 miles to California; 3,850 miles to Japan; 4,900 miles to China; 5,280 miles to the Philippines.
When you ID yourself as a rebreather owner it shows up on your profile that you're a rebreather diver, when you set it to blank it goes away. Are there not rebreather users who are not owners?
Also should we have listings for ownership and training for the MK-15 / Mk-15.5 / Mk-16 / CCR-1000 suite of rigs, as well as Homebuilt, and "Other" and ... ?
Maybe even for "Other eCCR," "Other mCCR" and "Other SCR?"
Or does this sort of detail really matter (or does it belong in the prose sections) and should it just be rebreather diver.
I refuse to believe that corporations are people until Texas executes one.

All three rebreather specific fields need to be entered in order to have the badge on display.

Exactly. I've done a fair amount of closed circuit work in the past and maintain an interest in it. I have two pure oxygen sets (a Carleton Cobra and an older Pirelli pendulum set ,and I'm going to build one the those hot water bottle sets). I also have two mixed gas sets (a MK-15.5 and an ancient Beckman that I hope to make work someday) in storage. I've only had OTJ "training" on any of them. So I guess I don't qualify.

There are plenty of other rebreathers out there on the market. There's the new Cis-Lunar/Poseidon, the Ourobros/Sentinel, the Hammerhead, and, of course, my favorite, the Dive Rite Optima (which is the unit I dive).
