KISS Opinions

[CCRDIVER]

Well then, Im the person to talk to.  I not only have a Kiss but Im looking to sell one too. 
The advantage of diving a Kiss is the metered orphis.  The constant addition of 02 is what makes the kiss so easy to dive with.  As the first stage is blanked out, meaning that so long as you don't go deeper than 330 feet the orphis is going to add 02 at just below your medibalic rate.  I have mine set for around .7 liters per minuite.  This makes diving the unit awsome because I only have to add 02 on decent, and accent or after about 20 min at depth.  What happens is the 02 gets used up as you breath, and the orphic is adding constantly, so you only have to monitor your 02 displays for the changes that occur during accent, decent, and work load. 

I love closed circut becuase you have more bailout options than OC.  For example, your system fails, you can go semi closed, you can add gas from you bailout tanks, you can breath off your onboard tank, and you can go totally oc.  You have more options than oc can give you in the same kind of dive. 

The Kiss unit has counter lungs that are on your back, this is not a problem for breathing, and keeps the clutter in front clean.  The 02 sensors need to be changed every year, even though they are good for 18 months.  The cost of diving is your sorb (chemical to scrub out c02) and your tank fills.  To give you an idea I normally do 2 or 3 dives to around 200 to 250 feet with run times between 1 hour and 2hours each on one set of tanks, (thats one dil tank and one 02 tank 19cf). 

The chemical is rated for 3 hours, and for deep dives you want fresh sorb in.  I normally do 2 long deep dives before I change my sorb.  everyone says sorb is cheap you life is not.  And that true. 

What else do you what to know.
