I have been all over the Rebreather Forums and everybody has a different opinion, I asked here because I would like get a different point of view with out the thread turning into a battleground on which rebreathers have the highest accident ratio. There is a shop here that has rebreathers and funnything is that it's the one I am leaning toward but, this is now the only rebreather they carry so ofcourse they are going to say this one is the best.
I have been diving a little over seven years. I was wreck diving in NC with a ccr diver and I asked him the same question "why did you buy a ccr?" Here is the answer......
When he jumped in the water on the wreck of the Proteus at 125ft , I was just getting ready to put my wetsuit on. When I was on the hang line doing the my safty stop at the end of the dive, he was still on the wreck. When I got on the boat and got my wetsuit off he was just coming up the ladder. He had twice as much bottom time and Half as much hang time.
So in short ...
I want more bottom time.
