I would like to work out an average annual (or 100 hours) cost of using a rebreather on the top of the price of the unit, training, gas and absorbent.

I assume servicing including cylinders, spares including o-rings, hoses etc, but is there a chance that you could share your average expenses?

I dive a KISS

Once a year I replace all three cells, cost £150.00 and I service the first stages cost £100 (but I do this my self) I get through probably a half dozen scrims a year £20. Say another £10 for 0 rings

So around £280 / $500

Thats it. Doesn't matter if I did 100 hours or 500 hours the costs would be about the same. A lot less than I used to spend on my half dozen OC twin sets.
