About the triton there's some vídeos i've made where it's possible to see a friend using it

With the wants for an eCCR, I'm wondering why the Liberty wasn't in the hunt?

not a bad thought. Never dove one but I can say divesoft’s customer service is exceptional.

Actually, we’re forbidden from charging less than $1500 on an Optima class. That’s not to say it doesn’t happen. You can’t price fix in the US, but our agreement to be able to sell and teach on Optima is that we won’t teach for less than $1500. I won’t risk my relationship with Dive Rite to save you a few bucks. Sorry

I've seen several instructors say that if you buy a brand new unit through them, training is included

Question for the optima people regarding boat dives. Since the scrubber is horizontal, any issues with it settling on a bumpy ride out, and having a big fat channel running the length of the scrubber? I would think proper packing would resolve the problem before it starts, but we can't all be perfect all the time.

One of the reasons I went with an SF2 is that it has a spring loaded top plate on the scrubber so settelling is taken care of if it happens.

Can't do that with the Meg, markup isn't high enough. I'd make that offer with a P2 though.

Use the cartridge and then it doesn't matter. In the mid-Atlantic all the boat rides are bumpy.

I do that on the Poseidon, Mod 1 is included if you buy a unit through me (consumables and gas excluded)

Name one optima instructor that’s doing that. I’m genuinely asking.
