Azimuth Ccr Conversion

Joseph Grech

Hello Guys,

I have finally finished and test dived my Azimuth rebreather in CCR. It performed flawlessly for the first test of a dive of 90 minutes with 20 meters max depth. PPO2 was stable and scrubber cannister found to be bone dry after this dive.
Thanks for all the guys who helped me by answering all my questions in order to convert the unit to CCR.

Glad it worked out for you. Aside from the size and weight, the Azi is a good rebreather ... and a good place to start.

How did you convert it? Where do you add the O2 into the loop, did you get an ADV or do you use the manual add valve? What pO2 monitor(s) do you use, and how did you integrate it?

Lot's of questions ... maybe time for a few pics and a write up.

Philippe, unlike your conversion the exhale valve I left as original as I tought a pity not using this beautiful machined job. I inject oxygen with a Kiss valve into the exhale counterlung by means of a modified dry siut inflator. The three sensors I put into the inhale lung on a bracket which clips into a P port. My Po2 monitor is a home made one with three displays into a lexan tube with machined endcaps. Currently I do not have an ADV and since I found the manual dil valve easy to operate I think I shall dive it as it is, at least for the moment. I shall post pictures of the unit with a teardown in the near future.
