I'm heading down to Portland tomorrow to do some work for a friend of mine. I'm making a pit stop in Centrallia to drop off the head for my Megalodon at the ISC factory- I'm having it converted from COPIS to APECS; or from manual to electronic.
I know full well that some of you are taking mCCRs to great depth, using DPVs and carrying cameras. I have dived my COPIS to depths exceeding the interstage pressure of my 02 first stage a few times, including a couple of dives with my CUDA. I know that it CAN be done. Simply put- I didn't like it. The task loading was more than I wanted to deal with.
I feel strongly- after chewing this over for more than a year- that this is the right step for me. I have all the paranoia and anal-retentive p02 monitoring skills that any good mCCR diver should have at this point, after 3 years and hundreds of hours diving manual.
Anyway, I'm pretty excited about making this jump- and I look forward to this next evolution in my dives.
