Poseidon Discovery MKVI IANTD Training

Posted under Courses

Yesterday I started my training on my Poseidon Discovery MKVI rebreather.

It was like Christmas to unpack the equipment and assembling it. It was like getting Lego as a kid for Christmas.

Below here you can see some images from me (I am the one with the light gray t-shirt) and my friend Arne assembling and the final unit.

I Bought a Poseidon Discovery MK-VI Rebreather

Posted under Courses & Denmark & Diving

Back in 2006 I took a TDI Trimix course with Tekstreme in Sharm. My instructor was diving a Megalodan rebreather, and my interest did start.

I have been thinking about buying a Poseidon Discovery MK-VI Rebreather for a few years now. Last Wednesday I did it. I ordered the unit from Scansub DK Diver in Roskilde, Denmark.

So when the unit arrives from Sweden, I am going on an IANTD course, to learn to dive the unit.

I’ll be back with more information when I have had some experience on the unit.

The main reason I wan’t to dive a rebreather is to get longer bottom time without going into deco, and also to make less noise underwater when doing underwater photography. And of course a new toy is always fun :-)
