I will be taking a rebreather discovery class in a week or so. The big unknown for me is, what is breathing like on the loop. OC practically forces the air down your throat. Do you every feel like you are straining to inhale while on a rebreather? It is easier to over breath a rebreather as opposed to a an OC reg?

Thanks

Jeff

Much depends on which unit....where the lungs are located. eg a Classic Kiss will be very easy to inhale if you are laying on your back (chipmonk cheeks), whereas an Inspo has the opposite effect. The best compromise is something like the Megladon which has OTS lungs.
