The new closed circuit rebreather from Juergensen Marine is built around the latest version of the HammerHead electronics. The unit comes in various forms depending on the options chosen.
There are two scrubbers both radial the larger on holds 7.8lbs of sorb and the small one 3.8lbs. There are over the shoulder counter lungs and back mounted counter lungs. On the control side there are three options electronic oxygen control, orifice oxygen addition and orifice oxygen addition with electronic oxygen control. The unit comes with a Golem Gear Bailout Vale (BOV). All of the loop fitting are hand removable for easy cleaning and pre-dive testing, the head attaches to the scrubber with a simple turn and click system.
The head holds four cells as standard three for the HammerHead and one as a fourth cell to run and independent display, the head has an option port to allow this to be connected.
The unit is very well made and looks robust and that it would stand up to the riggers of technical diving.
