Kiss try dives

Does any one out there know where I can go for a Kiss Try dive??

I have had a try dive on the Inspiration but would like to compare to
the Kiss Unit before I commit.

If not, then a couple of questions

What is the max depth on the standard unit? I was told 60m unless you
had the new .033 jet.

What is the situation with regards to spare parts in the UK. Are they
readily available?

What is the situation with regard to having the unit serviced or is
this not an issue

Does the unit come with a maintenance manual or is this just part of
the training course?

Thanks in advance

Of all the places you could've asked you picked here? My suggestion would be
to get in touch with gordon smith. Your best starting place is

Im pretty sure the units are now shipping with the new O2 Injector, which is
deeper rated (not sure how deep). The previous orifice tends to limit out
around 75m for most people. I *think* the new one limits around something
like 110m.

Spare parts.. depends what you want. Sensors/Counterlungs/harness/wing etc
are readily available. Beyond that, you'd be wise to ascertain what other
spares you want and order them with your unit. For most people that means
spare loop hoses... an ADV diaphragm, some flap valves etc. (You get a
complete set of O rings and a scrubber ring fitting from gordon anyway)

In my case, I also carry a spare display. Best to take this discussion
privately or with Gordon.

Servicing. Well, the RB part itself is pretty easy, provided you've got some
basic knowledge. KISS divers tend to run self sufficient.... ie... you do
your own. This is one of the benefits, it means you pay a lot of attention
to getting it right. Anyway, the KISS comes as a self assembly kit, trust
me.. you WILL learn it ;) There is a manual with it.... perhaps not quite
up to haynes standard though ;)

G'luck!
