OK my impressions of the KISS Sport RB
1) It weighs nowt! after diving all week with my usual twin 10s, then donning the KSRB, I felt as if there were
no tanks on my back. My usual weight belt was fine with the RB
2) did a 30min er.. ahem.. "try-dive" in tobermoray harbour to a max depth of almost 30m, descending and ascending very very gradually.
3) Bail-out is an absoulte doddle! Turn the big lever under the mouthpiece and you're
instantly on bail-out gas.
4) bouyancy control was no issue at all as I always fly my suit anyway, the BCD is purely for redundancy purposes, it was so cool just hanging there in the water and not moving either up or down at all
5) Maintenance is also a doddle, about 10mins post dive. I used to dive with a guy on an Inspiration who used to spend several hours post dive looking after the kit
6) Breathing took a bit of getting used to, I think there may have been some dampness in the scrubber (my guess only) before I used it, as it was possible to make it so that the air seemed a little "tight", quick switch to bail out sorted any problems ASAP. But when I had my breathing right it was the most effortless breathing I've ever experienced underwater.
7) Pricewise, it's very affordable, but I would like to hear from someone who has peviously imported stuff from the American continent so that I can get an idea of what extras I might incur by doing this.
8) One dive and I was hooked completely
Erm... have I missed anything ? Let me know
