Thumbs up New addition to the family.....
Well I collected (and paid for) my Classic KISS on Saturday. Digger very kindley came along for the ride and gave the thumbs up on it. I now own #051, Zepps younger sibling. Its all there including a SS portland frame with stand, a wing + BP, 2 5ltr Cylinders, spares and heeps of spheresorb.

On Sunday Digger showed me some of the ropes as we took it for a dive in Capernwray. I need to sort out my trim and weighting before I can proceed but it works, its a nice thing to dive and after a thorough clean / des-infectant by the previous owner, it tasts absolutely fowl!!! I suppose I can console myself that it didn't try and kill me and I won't have any serious respiratory problems with anything growing in there, but now I just need to grow a whole new set of taste buds after the dive and organise a course in the near future.

Don't the manufacturer's instructions say that's exactly what it is trying to do?

Bloody hell mate, you actually went ahead and bought it !!!!! When parenthood arrives you'll never be able to dive it

Then again I did exactly the same and ended up with the Duc

It's a rebreather - of course it tried to kill you, you just probably didn't notice

Dive safe
