Where would you suggest starting if before getting into diving the CCR, I wanted to become very familiar in the theory, maintenance, tear down, repair and reassembly of these devices. Before I trust my life on one, I feel the need to get up close and personal with them.

Thank you for the great info and advise. Steve

It sounds like the best I will be able to do is get one with a Co2 sensor and a mouth piece "flip switch" to OC. It would also be nice to get one that is upgradeable to new technologies in the future. So the next question would be... Which one? If something wonderful is coming out, I could...

Does anyone have any experience with the Reeler by Spectrum. I'm hoping to get some real life opinions from someone other than the Mfg. Also how does it compare to other brands, Thank you

My trip is in 2 weeks and I will enjoy my trip. I have another computer, ScubaPro SmartCom with pressure, but it's hard for these old eyes to see. It's a pain to have to use both. I was really looking forward to having its full functionality for this trip, so was whining a little. 

Zak, I know this is a very old topic, but felt like I needed vent for a moment...even thought I don't think that Mares really cares. I bought my Icon HD over a year ago at the same time that I comitted to a once in a lifetime tropical trip. Based on promises from Mares, I felt there was no worry...

I might be interested in your AtPac for nostogial and to show the young Lads how we used to do it Steve
