It is about a five minute drive to get to where I was testing it.
Okay I am going to go back to when I received it and tell you how easy and fun it was to unpack. Literally two minutes I had everything out and laying there and started reading the manual. I opened the box pulled the compressor out by the handle and set the other stuff around it to make sure everything was there. Easy fun and what great packaging.
So I am at the rivers edge leary about how this was going to go.That was where everything changed it was as simple as you can get, I put the battery in. heard the little music. Put the strap around me (I already had everything set up ready to go) put the smart reg in, turned it on set the compressor on the water and walked in the water. I breathed through the regulator as I walked into deeper water and then went under water. It was so easy that it surprised me. I spent the first 15 minutes without ever taking the regulator out of my mouth. I had a little trouble breathing at times but just inhaled shorter and it seemed to get better. I have never been diving before so I was a little bit hesitant to go too deep but I could not stay down anyway and so I went in mostly shallow water.
I had a waterproof metal detector with me and found a couple of pieces of what seemed to be a barrel and had a lot of fun. I can not wait to get a weight belt and a dive mask as what I used wasn't the best but it worked good for me. I will try to add some pictures later if I can. I can tell you this, using this today takes a lot of the questions away that I had about this product because I am not a diver. To sum it up in one word. Simple
If I received another one tomorrow, I believe I could have it ready to dive in about twenty minutes or less other than having the battery charged, that's how easy this is. If you are getting one of these I would recommend reading the manual now and taking the course. It is all in the course I believe if you can't get the manual. But is probably online or will be soon.
Thank you so much Blake and Robert for letting me test this thing it is incredibly easy and can not wait to see how other people feel about this product. I believe now more than ever that this could go crazy. Thanks again CWB

You are the perfect person to test it with your ADD/ADHD, if you can do it anybody can sort of pitch. When you get your weight belt please practice dropping it it the water with either hand to get familiar. Also sometimes in a situation keeping it on is better than floating up into trouble.
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE AIR NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. stop think and work out the situation / problem. Rivers can have special challenges
