whats new?
well, its been a while since i qualified - what have i been up to?
as an instructor i have been taking students in theory lessons and sheltered water lessons, nothing much there then!
as a rebreather diver i have been going quite well, i have done a few mods to my unit.
1) i have plumbed in my ALI80 stage cylinder via a QR coupling to provide me with more than enough bailout.
2) i have added possibly the most important mod anyone can make to a CCR - a BOV (bail out valve)
3) repainted my standard yellow shell - i do like to be different!
4) i’m in the throws of ordering a HUD for my unit but i’m not quite sure which one - it looks like a revodream but it might be a shearwater HUD.
oh, and i’ve done lots of FW dives on the unit but not so much in the way of SW.
my forthcomming plymouth trip should sort that out a bit!
has it all been worth it?
the combined instructor course - no, i dont feel i’m up to the required standard.
rebreather course + buying the unit - OH YES, AND SOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
