Question Has anybody dived with the RD1 rebreather and if so how was experience?

[DontheDiver]

The unit is engineered around a 5 hour dive capability.

-5.5 lbs sorb at about 1 hr/lb
-368 liters of o2 at 1lpm is 6 hrs, but assume shorter than 3000psi fills on oxygen
-maintain po2 1.0 for 5 hrs on your o2 clock

Configured like this, your o2 pressure gauge becomes a reliable means to gauge overall consumables. No more o2, no more diving.

We have a handful of photo/video pros using them in the shallows - really amazing in this application (no clutter on the chest), and very easy to turn into a mCCR for deeper stuff. RD1s have been dived >80m and no reason they can’t do more than that.

Thank you very much for the information. Now I just need to buy. Once again thank you.

Units are ready to go! We train in RI and AZ. If you have a buddy as well it may become economical to travel to you. The best way is to train in your preferred work/photo/video environment so we can help to make rebreather use part of your routine.

That would be fantastic but I am located in Jakarta. I have used Rebreathers in the past, Drager FGG111 and Compact Oy.
