Celebrities and CCR

RebreatherNut · 7th October 2008, 00:47

Hi all,
Well, this is sort of a stupid question. However, it is a thought that made me wonder.

Are there any CCR diving celebrities out there?

I am not talking about Richie Kohler or John Chatterton, these are fine gentleman, but I am talking about A List Celebs.

Also I am not talking about an actor who does a dive with a Dolphin or an Inspo once for a movie scene. I am curious to know if there are any celebs out there who pursue CCR diving as hobby.

I know, it is a silly thought.

cheers,

RBN

Not the answer you wanted however, they may not be rebreather divers yet but Tom Cruz, Lars form Metallica and Tom Hanks brother who is also an actor Jim Hanks all dive OC, who knows one day they may get Breathers.

Best regards

If you find any, ask if they would be interested in making a contribution to the quickean diving fund.

I know Bruce Willis was trained on an Inspo. Not sure if he is still diving it.

Jamie from Mythbusters has one - they used it on the escape from a sinking car myth.

The announcer guy said that he was certified on it, so I assume it's for fun :)

Scarlett Johansen likes to dive her Megalodon naked with Jessica Alba, who favors a homebuilt unit based on the Cis.

Angelina Jolie has been trained on the rEvo, but hasn't dived since mod 1, due to family demands.

And Bill O'Reilly enjoys diving his Evo to depths in excess of 13 meters in search of the truth, with his buddy Geraldo Rivera, who dives a MK-16 he got from some of his black-op sources. They regularly plumb the depths off of fire island together.
