WHO IS REBREATHER DIVING FOR?

Using a rebreather might seem complicated, overly technical, or elitist. While it is true that the practice demands rigor, it is incorrect to think that the activity is reserved for a select few.

Any diver with the desire and motivation can train in this technique. This is where the instructor plays a key role in turning that desire into actual skills.

Rebreather diving is open to anyone aged 18 or older; prerequisites include holding at least an Open Water certification and having experience and certification in decompression diving or Advanced Nitrox.

LEARNING A NEW TECHNIQUE:

A closed-circuit rebreather requires (among other things) two small cylinders to operate. One always contains pure oxygen, while the other serves as a diluent. Air is used as the diluent at depths of up to 40 meters. Beyond this depth, a mixture known as trimix (oxygen, nitrogen, and helium) is breathed to minimize risks associated with nitrogen narcosis.

A rebreather can be mechanical, electronic, or hybrid.

With a mechanical unit, the diver creates an optimal gas mixture in real time based on their current depth.

With an electronic unit, the diver only intervenes in the event of a malfunction.

With a hybrid unit—such as the rEvo Rebreather—the diver can still manually manage the gas mixture while also benefiting from electronic assistance.

Rebreather training involves understanding how this specialized machine works, as well as learning how to operate it and handle malfunctions or issues.

WHY CHOOSE THE rEvo!

Lightweight: The micro rEvo Titanium Expedition rebreather is a record-breakingly light machine, weighing just 22 kg ready to dive. Notably, this model fits within carry-on luggage size limits—ideal for travelers!

Redundancy: The rEvo PpO2 control philosophy relies on the use of two or three completely separate, full electronic systems. From the sensor to the display, rEvo keeps all PpO2 measurement circuits independent, ensuring absolute redundancy. This eliminates concerns about safely completing even the most challenging dives. It also removes travel anxiety; your rebreather will never prevent you from diving during a remote expedition.

Endurance: The rEvo rebreather utilizes an exclusive dual-cartridge system that allows you to discard only fully saturated scrubber material while retaining the material that is still active. Units equipped with the RMS (electronic scrubber duration prediction system) achieve record-breaking efficiency and safety levels during cartridge swaps. Imagine consuming just 1.3 kg of scrubber material every 5 or 6 hours of diving—it’s the new standard!

The rEvo rebreather is available in various models, sizes, and materials—offering different weight options—to suit divers of all shapes and sizes.
