Hi Jacques and all,
I haven't yet bougth the book but I will.
however I can testify that Jacques has a very interresting vision of rebreather diving.
Instead of lingering In a theoretical field this guy has always showed a practical and very intelligent approach of rebreathers.
I met Jacques in the early days of kiss-like diving in France, and was really amazed to see how fast he got in the rebreather world, kissing absolutly perfectly an Ida he dived succesfully every where he went.
I remember a couple of dives I did with Jacques where I was a little bit jealous of this guy that had absolutly not trouble with his machine where I had connexion problems, électronic problems, configuration problems... Jacques was really calm watching me fighting with my crap home modified dolphin (((-: .
I am sure that his book will reflect his rebreather approach.
Jacques please have it translated in English for all non French speaking Rebreather divers.
regards
jean mi

In french, of course.
But there is some Rebreatherworld guys inside. Try to found them !
The cover:
Untitled Document Editions Eugen Ulmer Les Recycleurs Principes, gestion, stratégies de décompression The first and only book which speaks in french about mCCR ! Available in library and scuba shop / disponible en librairie et magasin de plongée
Many divers think that rebreathers are the future of diving. And actually, since a couple of years, these bizarre machines have been gaining boat decks, lake shores and spring basins. They have been initriguing the newbie as much as they scare him. It's because so much is said about them ... They would be so performant but so difficult to master.
Done in the same spirit as the previous book, Nitrox Trimix, this book aims to demystify closed circuit rebreathers. Through the more user friendly models, the mCCR, the famous Kiss-like, it exposes some points that are specific to them and extends to more general questions, that a candidate to a closed circuit rebreather can have : use of sorb, decompression with constant ppO2, configuration, computers, bailout
.
It is not a "diving manual", as experience is acquired in the water, but a door opened to a future ... already present !
