    Inspiration Rebreather Service

    Hello all,

    I just received a box from my friend with a relatively new Inspiration Rebreather in it. I would love to take it out and learn how to use it, but there is a bit of a problem. It is completely disassembled and I don't have the "know how" or experience to clean and overhaul the thing. At this point I would like to find someone that overhauls Inspiration Rebreathers so I can make use of it myself or even sell it.

    Does anyone know where I could send it to get rebuilt, and does anyone have an idea of how much a rebuild like this costs???

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!
    RayBull

    Take a course on the Inspiration. After the course you will be able to both dive it safely and assemble it. The instructor should also be able to do any required maintenance.
    As far as where to find an instructor, check the Silent Diving website.

    Real men don't need manuals or training. Just go for it!

    You can send it to me, and I'll get it back into working order. And if it is beyond repair I will dispose of it properly
    Later,

    Rainer is an idiot. Take the proper training so you wont end up a statistic. I am fully trained in the unit and find it wonderful to dive with. If you are in the North east USA I would be happy to recommend an instructor for you. Be Safe

    I was one of the first users of the Inspiration in North America. I will be happy to show you how to assemble/disassemble. Cost = One used Inspiration Unit.

    Seriously - I bet Youtube has something close to a tear down. I see that Joe Coccoza and Jill Heinerth on a Evolution. They are similar cousins. That said - the Inspiration is NO TOY. Enough guys had croaked on the unit when I went to the UK to train on one of these suckers. If you intend to learn how to use these units get proper training. They were called the yellow shovel of death at one point.
