Hi all,

I would imagine this questions comes up a lot, however it is one that I need answers for, 'what rebreather(s) should I be looking at purchasing'. I have had a look around on the web, and I am finding all the technical details a little to overwhelming to draw any sensible conclutions, and now I find myself pleading for help, form the users in the know.

Firstly I don't do caves, in fact all I do is open water, some wreck diving, mostly I just enjoying the scenery and chase the fish! Most of my diving is to 28-35m and I am currently diving NITROX mixes, and I do struggle with making my air last.

Can anyone tell me if there would be an advantage diving rebreathers in this situation.

Any suggestions / comments.

Cheers Justin from OZ!

Perhaps you should look at a used Dolphin SCR unit. It will extend your nitrox supply and used units can be found at an affordable price. The training and diving of a stock Dolphin is faster and easier than a CCR unit.

Just be aware that they are no longer produced and may be a challange to find parts for.

I suggest that you do a search of the forums. There is a lot of information on this site. Talk to rebreather divers and instructors in your area and ask them for their thoughts too.

I would vote for the sport kiss. A small nice unit. Here are many threads about the unit. Good luck and have fun.

I would vote for a CK. Very simple to use, light and streamlined, the cost is reasonable.
