5 Things I learned during KISS SIDEWINDER CCR training

5 Things I learned during KISS SIDEWINDER CCR training

I made a ✨small✨ investment recently 🙈 and am now the proud owner of my very own @kissrebreathers Sidewinder rebreather. ➡️ The KISS Sidewinder is designed to be worn onto your existing sidemount harness. Therefore it barely adds to your horizontal profile. ➡️ It's an mCCR, meaning most of it's components are purely mechanical in nature and the diver controls the gas manually. ➡️ That seemed like a solid choice for a remote island like Utila because a lot of the maintenance can be done by myself. ➡️ When separated from the sidemount wing, it fits in a carry-on! ➡️ I got MOD1 certified with @floriansymoens and will spend the next few months perfecting my skill level.

Join us as we journey into the Mexican jungle to uncover traces of ancient life in Cenote Concha, a hidden gem in the Sac Actun cave system, cave diving for lost creatures of the ice age. In this episode of the Dive Saga Channel, we explore breathtaking underwater formations, some over 65 million years old, and discover the remains of two extinct creatures: the massive Ground Sloth and the Gomphothere, an elephant-like species.
