Thinking about scuba diving with a rebreather? January 18, 2006
Posted by Andy Carroll in : Rebreathers , trackbackI have been a member of the Rebreather World forum for a while, but have never posted as I prefer to ‘lurk’ and simply read the great resource which is Rebreather World. The site is owned by Stuart Ford, himself a scuba diver who dives the Megalodon rebreather, a closed circuit rebreather. At the time of writing Rebreather World has nearly 2000 members and there are over 2500 threads and nearly 30,000 posts, so it is definitely an active forum, and has plenty of resources for anyone thinking about rebreather diving or who scuba dives with a rebreather already.
The real interest for me isn’t the forum as such but the articles and features which are written by its members. There are reports written on a wide variety of subjects (all rebreather related) covering all levels of skill with a rebreather. One such article aimed at beginners is ‘A Learner’s guide to CCR Ops‘ by Richard Pyle and there is also an interesting article on crossing over from the Inspiration rebreather to the megalodon rebreather, by Dave Cooper.
Is this a website you might be interested in? Perhaps I should leave you with the words of Stuart, the owner of Rebreather World;
If you don’t know what a scuba rebreather is compared to normal scuba diving then you are in for a treat - imagine diving for longer, deeper, and using less gas! There are several rebreathers on the market and we cover them all here - if it is a Megalodon or Inspiration rebreather, Ouroboros or Sport Kiss rebreather. Then we have them in our extensive rebreather forums and our rebreather library.
