12-Year Old Builds Rebreather

[JBozanic]

The following is a link to an article written by Calvin Tang, discussing my son, Evan, and some of his dive activities. One of the areas of discussion was the rebreather he built as part of a science fair project. I hope you enjoy it!

"At the age of twelve, Evan became rebreather certified while designing and building his own custom, closed circuit rebreather (CCR), for a science fair project. Now at age thirteen, Evan has dived off of four continents, and plans to be the youngest person to reach the waters off of all seven."

Way to go Evan! Your caution, courage and poise are beyond your years. I wish you all the best in your endeavors! Great interview!!

Kind Regards,
George

Very cool. In theory a re-breather is a pretty simple system, in practice it is tough to build. I once scribbled down a design, but did not have the means to produce it. The hardest part will probably be the O2 monitoring system.

Your son has done a lot of amazing things.
You have made this possible by including your family in your work & adventures.

Keep up the good work. Its great to see a family growing and having fun like that.
