Frenchi Newbe in Rebreather World

Guilhem

Well, quite frankly, I'd hate to have to choose a machine solely on the ground that it is CE-stamped. This is probably the lowest criterium in my list.
You can dive a non-CE certified rebreather in France in the following cases:
- you show up in a dive center where the owner knows you, assesses the situation based on actual skills and let you dive (but of course, doesn't advertise it )
- you dive outside of any official "dive center", that is: from a rented boat, from a friend's boat, from the shore
- you dive in a cave. The silly law about CE-compliance of the unit only applies for dive centers out at sea...
