Save thousands - buy a rebreather snorkel!

I was surfing the net last night and came across this great invention. If I only knew about it before I spent thousands on my system. Damn it.

Nothing came through except a red "X". Do you have the link?

If you really want to see the picture - Right click on the Red X, choose properties, copy the link nad paste it into the browser.

Should be corrected now.

Yep, for more professional use there's a version with a garden hose and plastic bag at the end that surface personal can squeeze - surface supplied air.

What, no OC bailout on the DSV ??

***caveseeker7*** · 17th December 2005, 18:01

It's an option with the extra cost flapper valves. Just pull of the (correct) end of the hose and it pops up for oc bailout.

By the way, before any of you jokers start ridiculing this new technology you should know that PADI has embraced it with open arms and a new class:
Advanced Rebreather Snorkel Education - ARSE training and certification!

Evidently this is not a new idea.

Your picture shows the military only pendulum version of the rebreather snorkel. Due to its non-magnetic properties the $25,000 price tag alone places it way beyond civilian reach.

By the way, the unique position of the loop designates this as one of the units for or of the Vatican Navy combat swimmers (Motto: Hailin' Mary And Haulin' Ass). They only recently started using rebreathers as holy loops caused bubbles turning them into targets.
