Virkon is now sold under the name Relyon. Same stuff; just a new name.

This conversation has not been "banned" on Rebreather World. Just go there and run a search, and you will find that it has been discussed so many times that it has been beaten to death. The most recent findings regarding the allegations raised by Deas et al. are cited in the thread, "No...

Check out Florida SCRUB (South Coast Rebreather Underwater Bounders) on RebreatherWorld.com.

Something else to consider in factoring costs is the price of gas fills. CCR gas fills average less than $25, considering some dives on Trimix and some on Air diluent. Each fill (oxygen plus diluent tanks) lasts up to 6+ dives (depending upon duration and profile). However, to be...

Congratulations on the new release, Jeff!

Are you diving Sunday? If so, where are you going with Oliver? AM or PM? Maybe we can meet up.

The rebreather isn't trying to kill anyone. It's just a group of components. Any of these can break. When the component breaks, it brings a result. Train to monitor and deal with the result of things that break.

I have had no problem in either domestic or international travel with my Optima. Dive Rite even makes a travel case for the Optima that will fit in an overhead of an aircraft.

It appeard in Advanced Diver Magazine, Issue 31, which is available as a single issue back order from their web site, Advanced Diver Magazine.

There may also be limitations for the manufacturer warranty. Make sure to find out about these when considering a used unit.

I have to respectfully dissent from your views here a little although I suspect this could just be a matter of some phrases chosen rather than your intent. For example: There is nothing about a rebreather or open circuit gas delivery system that is, as you stated, "safe." (In fact, nothing...

I am an independent instructor in Miami. I work part-time at Ocean Safari, which is near downtown. Hydro tests are $30 including the VIP for tanks that do not require cleaning for nitrox/oxygen service. You are going to find that most dive shops and hydro facilities in the area will charge...

There are many divers that use rebreathers to enhance their underwater photography. You will not believe how close the wildlife will get to you since you are not scaring them away with bubbles. There is nothing like it! Yes, you can use a rebreather for shallow diving. One of the reasons...

This might be the link.

Try the Cave House. If you split the Cave House between a group, it becomes really affordable. It also happens to be five driveway entrances away from Peacock, and just down the road from two places to fill tanks: Cave Excursions, and the Dive Outpost.

If you are 16 now, how about this suggestion? No matter what your age, you should research this thoroughly. Spend some time researching this issue before reaching a decision on a particular unit, and on your instructor. Buy and read Understanding Rebreathers (also known as Mastering...

Thanks for the kind words! Come on by to visit anytime. Don't forget that those of you interested in finding out more about rebreathers will want to be at the shop by noon for my free seminar, where I will give a little primer about the Dive Rite Optima (and CCRs in general). If you are...

Don't jinx me, Dude! :doh2: If I do have a failure, I'll come looking for you! :bash: :D This thing with the rebreather trying to kill you probably got started when some well-meaning instructor (or equivalent) told a student (or someone listening to a story) that the diver will remain...
