    Hello mempilot

    I'm diving a Meg here in Canada. Mostly quarries in winter time, the St-Lawrence river in summer.

    I have two buddies that have Megs. We trained last spring in Florida.

    I'll be leaving for Mexico in a month with one of my buddies.

    My dive buddy Padipro and I both trained in the springs in N FL as well. Who did your training on the Meg? We trained with Jill Heinerth.

    Default Jill Heinerth Meg Training

    Jill is top notch. I will use her again in the future, and I have sent many other divers to her over the last year. You can get a hold of her via her website www.rebreatherpro.com, and tell her Eric Stadtmueller sent you.

    Hi Eric,
    I did my homework ;-) and checked Jill's sites before, and is easy to see She's Top. But I like to know how is a meg course? what you do during the week, lots of classroom? dives? if you like to share your experience... I like Jill also because She shoot video and photos too, and Im a photographer and makes it more interesting.
    Thanks,
    Gustavo

    Yes, but more importantly, Jill has a Cis-Lumar Mk VP!

    Gustavo,

    I know this thread is a few months old now, but if anyone else reading it is interested in how a CCR is structured then i can share my experience. I was first certified on an Evolution. I did about 8 hours of classroom type stuff and we did 8 dives on the unit. Then, a year later I crossed over to a Meg and that wasnt as intense since CCR fundamentals were already there. That was 2 days, not much classroom mostly diving the unit and learning it. You can really do most of your reading before class, pick up the books and read them a few times. It will make so much more sense later.

    Enjoy

    I do prefer the Vision electronics, especially the scrubber temp stick. I allows me to get 6-7 hours out of the scrubber when doing recreational profiles.

    I have seen the Meg in person repeatedly and the build quality looks really good.
