Hi,

Just a quick note: polish CCR diver Krzysztof Starnawski has beaten world record, in closed circuit deep diving. In Dahab (Egypt), Krzysztof has descended to 283m, dive time was approx. 9h.
Yuo can read related article (in polish only) here Krzysztof Starnawski ustanowi.

Cheers,
Piotr

Well done, eventually someone broke David Shaw's 270m record.

first of all congrats to mr. Starnawski!

but I have a question. I don't have so many knowledge about CCR systems and I would like to know why it is harder to dive deep than Open Circuit.

I know the record for OC is 325 meters by Gomes but why is it harder to achieve these depths in CCR?

thanks in advance.

I don't think its that much harder within context. The thing is that RB's are designed to be used much shallower and not made to work that deep. The other thing IMO is that they are much more prone to failure than OC, I don't care what anyone else say. None of the components are tested for those depths. This makes it a challenge.

I'm not a rebreather diver, but my understanding is that scrubber break through becomes more likely at higher pressures, due to the increasing density of the breathing mix.

Will Goodman yesterday (26 March 2014) set a new record of 290 meters in Gili Trawangen (JJ CCR). Initial reporting on the Facebook page of Blue Marlin (https://www.facebook.com/BlueMarlinDiving)

I am so pleased that all went well!
