please somebody simplfy it..........

Very simple version:
In conventional scuba exhaled gas is dumped into the water, where it is lost to the diver. A rebreather recycles exhaled gas, removing carbon dioxide and adding some oxygen to it before it is inhaled again. The links above describe a number of mechanisms to accomplish this.

thanks lemna ok what about risks of health..... i mean what if the mixture maker inside the rebreather is not working properly......when you are under water about 140 feet or above....

it is battery operated or what>>??

You are relying on many different critical items in a rebreather. If any of them fail, bad things happen.
Too much oxygen? Convulsions.
Too little oxygen? Hypoxia.
It's a simple idea, with great and useful application, but the technology, while better and far more advanced than it was, is still not 100% reliable.

 

[technicalbeast]

so it means that ordinary gears are more reliable and have less risk ....like ordinary tanks ,bcd,regulators.

The thing that fails most is actually the diver, and not the rebreather. Check your facts
