KISS Explorer - deep thought - 04-10-2010
I will be offering CCR Demos on my new KISS Explorer, and excited to give it a run as it has been a year or two since I have actively been diving with a KISS rebreather. The KISS Explorer features a split counterlung case for ease of access, and a diluent add valve on the left side for flushes, or I'll equip with offboard. It has the tough exterior coating that I saw Brent diving in Manatee last year...so it should look nice after I bang it around? I have chosen a Shearwater Predator computer and HUD for PPO2 display.
The CCR demo is offered at Aquaventure Dive and Photo in Maple Grove, MN on Sunday April 25th 8:00 am - 5:00 pm, and is a Free Demo with rebate dive store Gift Certificate - contact AVDP at 763-424-8717 (demo includes rEvo, Meg, Inspiration, Poseidon, KISS)
More pictures of rig when I get it all decked out. Stay tuned

The new case looks nice, I hate taking out the counter lungs on mine.

The KISS Explorer was on the short list of rebreathers I was considering. Because of the change to Dive Rite first stages and the Dive Rite second stage on the new BOV I decided to buy something else. I do think that some of the new features incorporated into the Explorer will make other potential buyers take a closer look at the KISS. Unfortunately, the rise in the Canadian dollar won't help.

I just got notice from Kim that the unit has shipped, and today my Shearwater HUD, and Fischer cable attached to the KISS kidney showed up!!!! It will probably arrive when I am in Florida training Mike and Al, so a bit of a delay in posting pics.
The demo this past weekend at Klein Scuba in Wausau was great, and I had 12 divers...wish I had the KISS for this demo but it will come in due time.
Yes unfortunately the Canadian dollar is stronger, but the Euro is down a bit which will help the people considering the rEvo.
I'll post some pics from Key Largo next week when I'm teaching Inspiration CCR - I'm also bringing down the Poseidon Discovery to see how it handles the ocean dives???
Good Diving
