Hello,
Before I start I am on mobile so, sorry in advance cor any typos.
I am a basic prepper and i am getting into scuba divig once my reduction and reconstruction on my right shoulder is done this late summer. I got to thinking and have some ideas I want to run by everyone.
First and foremost I am fairly knowledgeable about scuba gear as well as SCBA gear through the fire department as I was once a former volunteer at a fire department. now now what I want to discuss is prepping for a natural disaster or a terrorist attack in regards to using your scuba gear as a SCBA gear.
Now in regards to the biological and the nuclear type of attacks that are very well possible through a terrorist organization. in a biological chemical warfare type attack you would need to have a breathing apparatus and a biohazard suit generally a level 2 or level 1 suit. my question for this part is with a scuba gear be compatible to be used in a biological or a chemical attack same as a SCBA bunker gear would be used in the same situation by first responders. Now in cases such as biological and chemical weapons you want to wash the agent off of you and prevent it from touching your skin. in that case what I was thinking would be to wear a dry suit which already is waterproof and pretty close to airtight. for extra security you could wear a level 2 or level 1 biohazard suit over the dry suit and breathing apparatuses. what I was also thinking would be a plus with this system would be you kid jump into water and get out of an area if you had to sit as if you were on a coastline. you could also clean your gear with water such as is the standard for decontamination when you have been exposed to such agents.
I know that 95% of all our departments only use a single tank SCBA system, whereas scuba gear can have more than one tank on the system as well as you could change the tank easier without having a greater risk of being contaminated if you're still within the hot zone and your air supply starts running out. my friend and I who is a member on here that is a diver as well, had mentioned that possibly a rebreather could be used for extended periods of time. I myself am not very familiar with a rebreather type system but I am aware that with a standard scuba gear you really do have to suck kind of hard for the regulator to get the air flow.I don't know how is rebreather would work outside of water, so I am looking for any experts who could tell me how the system without or with a rebreather could work for a emergency prepping type system. now of course the system I am thinking about would include a full face mask with communications system installed at such as well you can have with a full face mask system while scuba diving. I thank you all for your time and if you could please get me back with some information on this I would really appreciate it. The more detailed you can be the better thank you
