(((( Rich))))

I never found out how much more air is used when communicating with the
FFM.... I suppose it would depend on how much/how long you talk... and if you
are a hyper personality (I heard someone at that rebreather forum that SURE
was an expert at stringing words together fast and hard....lol).

I tried Morgans S1S   FFM ... as a virgin of FFM's I was so jazzed with the
unit ... I know I must have used half a tank of O2 .... I was disappointed in
one thing only..... that I didn't have anyone to talk to... no fish swam by
...Peter Heseltine who was spotting me.... swam the other way after hearing
me ...and so hearing my own sweet voice ... I held a wonderful conversation
about Bev Morgan and what a nice man he was to make this great gear so people
like me could babble to marine life and drive their partners crazy!!!
     Other than that I had to learn how to equalize without holding my
nose... due to the metal nose grip. 

I suffer from dry mouth syndrome while diving sometimes... Im wondering if
this symptom would still occur with the FFM.... I should have asked at forum!

I will surely add it to my Christmas list as a stocking stuffer item.... I
really appreciated the opportunity to try their gear... and they were sooooo
nice!!

>>  We've been reluctant to go to FFM's primarily for bailout reasons, but 
after seeing Bev Morgan's new mask, there is hope yet.  That will change 
a lot of how we do what we do (for example, we'll probably shift more 
towards the buddy system).
