Report from Sentinel CCR Class

Kevin Gurr, Richie Kohler and Gregg Stanton and I hit Blue Grotto today for some more training. It is a wonderful thing to be back on a learning curve. Despite getting lots of new information and viewpoints, it is good to be under the performance pressure of being evaluated. It should make me a better instructor, recalling what it feels like to be a student.
I have to say that I am incredibly impressed with the Sentinel rebreather. Quite simply, it is true life support with a high degree of background security and a simple user interface. In other words, there are a whole lot of features working in the background and protecting you from human error, but diving it is very easy. Today I was taking shots of the guys and think it will be a great tool for photography that normally robs quite a bit of my attention. I'll report more as I finish my class!  Photo: L-R: Greg Stanton, Kevin Gurr, Richie Kohler
