Hello!

Hey folks,

I've been interested in diving, and especially rebreathers since a few years ago when I spotted the nobubblediving website, since then building one of my own has been the subject of numerous fag-packet sketches and musings.

Since then I found out that learning to dive first would probably be a good idea, learned to dive and have been on as many trips as I can get onto, am loving it wish I'd done it years ago. Along the way I've also acquired an engineering degree, a lathe and a garage full of sh... So I reckon it's near enough time to make a start on building one.

Blame my mate for letting me have a go on a Meg last weekend for tipping me over the edge

Surreal experience and definitely worth doing. Carrying my twin 12's back up that night for an air fill just reinforced the point!

Cheers!
Chris

Welcome. Hope you get to try multiple units before doing any serious dives on the home build. Be safe and welcome to the wonderful bubble free world of diving.

Intending to try a few more before getting too committed to the biggest design choices on the homebuild too
