I agree, there's plenty on Ebay sub £2000
If you got the cash I would recommend the Vision

I was in this position 6 months ago.

If you're serious about wanting something simple, uncomplicated and reliable you've kind of excluded eCCRs already.

I narrowed it down to Classic Kiss, Copis Meg or rEvo.

I didn't like the location of the lungs on the Meg.

It was close between CK and rEvo and to be honest I think I'd have been happy with either. It was the scrubber design and the low profile of the rEvo that swung it in the end.

I think you need HUDs and a BOV. CK has BOV, rEvo has HUDs. Both can be retro fitted with the missing bit and both can be modded to overcome the 80M depth limit of the constant mass flow systems.

Give Dave Cooper a bell and talk it through.

Who you gonna be diving with
If the majority of the people you are likely to dive with have say one particular make of rebreather, i would go with that.

That way if you get any niggles or issues, they can advise you.


For example if everyone of your rebreather equiped buddies is on a Meg

you would not want to be the only one on an Inspo.

AND VICE VERSA.

From an Inspo Vision Owner. Its the best by far all the others are rubbish
