As part of our plans for the trip round we are planning to do as much diving as we can, as our intended route takes in many of the top diving spots in the world. We are both rebreather divers but have decided that it isn't going to be possible to dive with these all round the world due to requirement for 100% Oxygen gas and sofnalime which will be a lot of hassle to arrange in remote locations. So we are going to go back to basics and return to single cylinder scuba diving and buy a compressor for the boat giving us unlimited diving wherever we are. Infact Parcelforce came today to pick up Kevin's rebreather to go to it's new owner!
We had a long debate about about the dangers of storing petrol on board and the possibility of using electric powered off the engine. However, we have plumped for the petrol option on the assumption that we will need an petrol outboard engine too for the tender. So it looks like being MCH6/SH - 3.5cfm Honda Petrol Compressor, to hopefully fit in the engine bay. We need to do some measurements during the Southampton Boat Show or our Factory visit to check before we can order.
Meanwhile we both have a week off in two weeks time when we will be planning to sell our house and contents, Kevin's truck, sort out our Pensions, decorate the hall and find somewhere to new to live! We officially have our To Do list now and there is alot to do!
