What's your age when you first dove a Rebreather

dz3866 · 19th January 2007, 00:24

I would have to say about 3 months old in my moms womb, not sure how it all worked but it was a fully closed system with oxogen supply and CO2 scrubbing, then I was out of it for about 37 years before I tried a diffrent unit

Next step is graft gills

hey, that was my idea!

started diving when i was 24, got on the loop the first time when i was 36...would have a lot sooner but was scared to death of rebreathers.

haha... i nearly rolled off the chair reading...talk about creative posts...

Well, IMHO, be it pool or open water dive, the fact that one have the guts to do it and the ability to come out alive is good enough....

Got my OW license at age of 14. Stopped a couple years due to O and A lvls. Those who've gone through it knows. haven dove an Rebreather yet but my homebuild is in its final stages (lime,clean,fill,mount) so, yeah hell yeah am I diving an RB soon....

looks like 18's the youngest age around...

Anyone needs some "old salt" for your steak?

haha.... I bet Uncle Tom's the oldest and still active Rebreather diver out there...

37...would have sooner, but it took me that long to figure out how to 1)make my wife happy so I could have time to dive and 2)find the money...Now with 3 children, I bet they will start on Rebreather's around 12-14. I wish my Dad had been RB diver.

Probably not the oldest...and I sure do not do the dives some of you guys do...and never did...I envy your opportunity.

It's been at least 10 years since I have been deeper than 160 feet.....You have great opportunities for ocean exploration with the units available now due to some gutsy innovative manufacturers....

Shallow clear warm seas for my old bones....but there are lots of them out there...
