Hey guys, i'm new here and just found this site. I think it has lots of useful info on scuba. I just got a Biopak 45 from a friend of mine and I'm wondering what are the specs on it. It's in perfect condition and we were trying to figure out what it's worth and when it was made. Thanks for the help.

Hello,
A Biopak 45 in good condition can be converted for Diving use, but it is really intended for terrestrial use.
As for the value, that depends on the condition and if you can find anyone looking for one that actually has money and is willing to be parted with it. The Biopak 60 is more desierable for diving conversion though.
Here is a link with the basics of converting a Biopak 45 into a diving rebreather. It's NOT for the faint of hear though and shouldn't be done unless you have some experience with rebreathers.

Terrestrial ,,, ie best to stay no deeper than you can get back to surface on 1/2 breath.
They originally sold for I think $3500.
When Taylor Diving and Salvage went under in the early '90's ,,, I bought 6 of then for $25.
I think they were gonna use them for weld habitat bail out units kept on the habitat wall with AGA masks with nomex covered hoses.

Hey don't blame me. I didn't go digging through 19yo threads to restart this one! But I did think it was interesting

Was the world still in black and white when this thread was started? I can’t remember…
