Firstly, I'm really liking your video's because they are showing me a side to scuba diving I have no training in, but I find very interesting because of the study, discipline, training and practice required. I've done PADI 40m and Nitrox, My buoyancy, trim, gas usage, self sufficiency is apparently good enough to consider rescue diver. about 70 dives. Based on this, do you think I could try a Rebreather in a controlled environment under close supervision? To be clear. I'm talking about trying out the equipment in a swimming pool in the shallow end. Not blowing bubbles being the key experience. Proper training and certification maybe after this.
Of course, you'll get an introduction to the unit anyway and you'll be closely supervised on your first dive whether you have 50 or 500 dives. I'm an ISE Instructor as well and let somebody try my unit the other day with about the same number of dives as you and less training. It worked very smoothly.
Danke für das Video, die idee mit dem offnoard gas finde ich klasse ich glaube bei den neueren kiss Modellen wird nur noch mit offnoard Gas gearbeitet? Grüße Christian
Hello, great channel and extremely interesting video. I have a question on mccr. Are they limited by depth? Or can be modified to reach depth beyond 100 m?
They're limited due to the non depth-compensated first stage of the onboard oxygen tank. No oxygen from that tank can be added to the loop below ~100m. There are numerous ways to do deeper dives on mCCRs, some require modification of the unit, some not.
And you can always rebreathe your bailout tanks in case of the only functioning thing is your canister. You can rebreathe 4 breath, flush and rebreathe again.
@@lingen2193 It is, of course , but when there is no more shit to hit the fan , and even the fan has stopped, doubling or trippleing your bailout is like beeing touched by angels :)
Thank you. Thumps up for THINKING diving!
Working on getting my sidewinder now
And wow I think you just talked me out of JJ CCR

Thanks, really informative video, I have never seen setup with manifold with plug in from off board. Is there a specific one you use

Manual pSCR mode - but isn't it a somewhat higher task load?

Nice explanation Axel. Just wondering what are your thoughts on adding a needle valve to the O2 feed? As done on the Fathom CCR.
Regards
Cathal
The KISS comes standard with a CMF which has a needle valve. It's awesome.
Do you still offer Kiss RB courses?
Yes we do
I would be in too. Where can one subscribe, and would you handle the purchase process of the unit?
