dalegray · 7th March 2005, 17:57

I have just been asked by a dive center in Malta that I use alot, what makes a Rebreather Friendly Dive Center. I am part way through replying and I would like to pick your brains on this subject.

So any coments ideas etc?

Well the criteria i used for our Rebreather Friendly Destinations DB are

1 - Scrubber Material for sale
2 - O2 on site
3 - Booster pump eg haskel available
4 - He if they are catering to technical diving
5 - Cylinders for hire, Inspirations are best bet as you can use them in the insp, Meg, Prism, kiss, Ouroboros....

My 2 penneth...

Stuart summs it up nicely. If they also have a couple of sensors on the shelf and a few rigged stage tanks for bailout they're even friendlier.

I'm no expert but what spare parts has to be the order of the day ??? That and a Rebreather instructor of course to get more people to make the change

Inspiriation tanks

O2 booster pump

Spare scrims, O rings, O2 Cells, batteries

Proper Sofnalime

7ltr Ali stages (Using 10s when you dont have to is a PITA)

A spare unit incase yours goes terminal would be nice but a bit much to ask

Dive guides that will tolerate the diver doing more than 60mins on a dive.

That is a bloody brilliant point! Not much point in having an Rebreather some where warm if you cant IMHO....
