On the 1st of April (no this is not Aprils Fools), I completed my IANTD Poseidon Discovery MKVI rebreather training with Anja from DKDiver’s.

We where a group of divers, at the Kreidesee in Hemmoor, Germany.

On the 2nd and 3rd of April, I had my 4 first non training dives on my rebreather. And I am absolutly sure it is a good investment, I enjoyed every single dive.

Thanks to the rest of the divers for a great weekend in Germany.

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.

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

In the weekend 24-25. of January there was a traveling show in Copenhagen, with a small diveshow part.

Unfortunately it was the same as in Düsseldorf, nothing new to see, but it was a good place to meet old students, old colleges, dive friends, and just to talk.

There was a big display of all sorts of different rebreathers from the very old to the brand new ones, like the Sentinel and the Poseidon Cis Lunar MK. VI.

I had the pleasure of seeing a presentation made by Mark Ellyat a famous deep diver, he had made some nice videos of his dive, to the Victoria, Yolanda and other wrecks. Also i saw the last 10 minutes of John Bantin’s presentation of lovely underwater pictures.

The pictures is a mixture of old friends, rebreathers and the presentations.

As promised in an earlier posting, here are a few pictures from the Boot dive show in Düsseldorf.

There wasn’t really anything new to se, but I got a few nice shots of the Poseidon Cis Lunar MK. VI rebreather.
