Juergensen Marine Hammerhead CCR

Too early to know much about this thing, but I think it looks pretty impressive. I also think the designer took a lot of Megalodon pills, but like I always say, "Greatness borrows, but Genius steals!"

Anyway, there's something about the look of this unit that makes me kind of weak in the knees......and I loooove the fact that it can be configured as mCCR or eCCR....or both. (hybrid). And 4 cells! Why not?

It's pretty cool. The hammerhead electronics have had issues (batteries for one). I've never messed with them but it was explained to me that as it scrolls through it's display you can't always see your PO2 which IMO is not a good thing. It's also a little pricey right now.

Looks bad to the bone (as BJ would say). Similar in some ways to the Meg too.
