KISS Opinions

[MAXFACTOR]

John L    I am also new to rebreathers, as I have only had a  pool dive with the Kiss, Inspiration, Meg and others. 

My suggestion to you is to contact GUDC, which I believe have more rebreather divers then any other shop in the Midwest.  Ask them when they are having another  Discover Rebreather Course.  Take the course, find out for yourself in one day.  You'll ge to break down  at least 5 different rebreathers and try them.  The course fee is low and definetly worth it. 

Also, I believe.. if you are getting into a price study,  Ghosh's unit would then be considered your best bet.  I have not seen the unit, but I do know that Ghosh is an excellent diver and I've seen some of his other equiptment.  I am sure it is in excellent condition, and you may as well get trained by the best two technical instructors (Ron Benson and Chuck Northrup)  in the world.  ( 

NO  I  DO NOT WORK FOR THE SHOP.  But when I was chatting with a diver (a total stranger) in the shop one day, he told me that the shop he works with  recommended that he get his training at Going Under ..........you have to ask yourself  HUUUUMMMMMMMMM .      Then you find out that these guys are driving up from Chicago and other states, because they're own shop recommended Going Under.    I think that says it all.  Doesn't it?           

Good Luck,
