Did someone say pizza?!CaptnJack wrote:Gotcha. No I don't really have a need for a $5K recreational CCR. It is cute though and I like that its available in any color you want.If you know someone doing a demo day with RB80 clones like the Czech "trespresidentes" that might be fun. Although by the time I need such a thing I have long since thumbed the dive and gone for pizza & beer.

Depending on what we do and where we have it there may be an incurred cost for the pool, so I might ask for donations to the cause if there is no fee so I don't get stuck with the pool cost (its kinda rude of me to invite them up and then say "oh ya, here's the bill for the pool"

Josh, where would you like me to post about this? I emailed Jerry and Leon and will post more, but think it would be cool if we had it in a public/recreational accessible forum as opposed to the opt in stuff...
Is it free? If so, go ahead and post it wherever. If there's a fee, let me know in advance, and we'll post it as an ad.
They scooped EVERYONE! It was kinda amusing to watch that play out on the RBW. They (along with some help from Ron) just set the whole thing up and said "lets rock!" Ooooo....

When do we invade?!
I kinda wanna dive just to see if the WOB is a gawd awful as its purported to be. Beyond that I have heard of more people who have given up on the hassles than those who still dive them, so actually buying one is not really anything I'm interested in.

Maybe you could get Steve White to do a workshop... He's an RB80 user. if'n you are just wanting to go through the guts of one and not necessarily dive it. As i understand it, Dathan also has a fair bit of experience with the PSCR-BSAC unit. A precursory glance at the UTD site shows some instructors with extensive RB80 experience, maybe next time AG is in town (wasn't he around this last week?) he'd do a sCCR Q & A session. Another option, and this is a bit of a long shot, I know that Bob Sherwood has extensive experience with the PSCR type rebreather, perhaps when he's in town for the upcoming tech 2 class in February he'd be interested in talking to you about it.

And looking around enjoying yourself and not worring about the air clock just looking at the time to surface and wonding how that beer is going to taste and if I should head up yet or stay for anouther 5 min or so.Joshua Smith wrote:CaptnJack wrote:I kinda wanna dive just to see if the WOB is a gawd awful as its purported to be.

Ahh, get over your prejudices. CCR is the future, baby!
I will admit to having a few drinks before writing this post. Feel free to ignore.
But if you're diving deeper than 200' on OC, I Gotta ask:
Do you hear that "jeapordy" theme song playing during your BT? You know-
Dah dah DAH dah, Dah dah DAH DAH, DAH dah dah, DAH dah dah dah dah dah?"
I don't. I'm too busy making sure the gas in my loop is breathable. And so forth.
Good thing you got all that deep air experience before you used any helium to help you ride that computer ppO2 readout ehJoshua Smith wrote:CaptnJack wrote:I kinda wanna dive just to see if the WOB is a gawd awful as its purported to be.

When do we invade?!
First, we "negotiate." Then, we send in "advisers." Then, we deploy "facilitators" in order to win the hearts and minds of the indigenous populace.
