Do all rebreathers require a bailout bottle on board ?

Yikes, that's more than a dive-ready JJ.

About the same on all the sites I could find a JJ for sale, but the JJ doesn't have solid state cells which do add to the cost. Don't get me wrong, the JJ is one heck of a machine but once you go solid state you won't go back. There is also a LOT more going on under the hood of the Poseidon that most folks aren't aware of, blame poor marketing for that I guess. As far as tech to keep you alive and compensate for human error there are no machines quite like it. Of course, that's a downside to many folks and that's perfectly fine.

That's actually one reason why I wouldn't want one. Simple is good IMHO, especially for cave and deco diving.
They seem to be very cheap in the used market, at least in Europe... doesn't seem like they're really catching on for some reason.

The SSS does sound nifty though.

I have not checked the latest, but I recall that solid state cells were soon to no longer be a Poseidon only. That has been a rumor for years. But at the price point that Poseidon sells them for, I'm not exactly jumping on board.

Does that i

Does that include a BOV? From the US website it looks like it comes with only a DSV.

Poseidon seven sport

Honestly, that’s the last unit I’d consider and I’m certed on most of the common units.

To put it into perspective, I’d dive a rEvo again before I bought the Poseidon.

Can we have some examples please?

Not being flippant, I’m genuinely curious what you are referring to.

Oof lol

How long are you going to be without it every time you have to send it off for the 100hr service? I think it locks out after a certain time period too

About as long as it takes to enter a password.

Can you be more descriptive on why for those two in particular?
