    I've had one for probably 6-7 years and no complaints.

    Rebreathers are something that we have to go to in order to dive the way we want to dive. They are not something we go to for any other reason.

    You know this how?

    You are right Mike. Also water quality through out the system is not equal. After a flood I will go down one route,and see 20',then a different way,and there is 10'. Also,I have seen branches and other crap entangled in the line after a flood which would make a zero viz exit on the line very difficult-especially if air sharing was involved. Of course there is the conspiracy theory of keeping the system closed to make things difficult for visiting divers,that would explain the crop circles in the field across the street. Planning cave diving trips during the spring is sometimes as successful as putting all your money on number 7 at the Roulette wheel.

    True , True...
    We were cleaning off branches and other debris off of the downstream line from Catfish to Manatee today. Even the little branches get to be a pain when they are tangled on the line.

    Have N-19s been around that long?

    I'm guessing he means he's had an SS for 6-7 years.

    I now have both a UV-26, and N-19. I drove both this week, and in the water, they are similar, but hauling them to the water, the N-19 wins hands down

    I had been thinking of selling the N-19, when I got the UV-26, but after re-trimming the N-19, and carrying the UV-26 to the water, I changed my mind.
