Maybe you mean the CCR 2000.
It was designed and built by Boeing engineer Dan Wible. He sold the rights to Olympic Submarine who continued the development until they went bankrupt. The CCR 2000 sort of evaporated after that.

RB are very brand specific in how they are made - so usually a particular RB would only be serviced by the a dealer for that unit. Many RB divers also substantially "upgrade" or modify their RBs. RB diving is much more involved than open circuit and appropriate training and experience is a must. There are quite a few books out to get you started.

My friend is getting a CCR for me, and I haven't even step into tech. I was just talking to him abt tech n RB, then after awhile, he just made a phone call and ordered CCR for me!!!

How do I store the RB when it's brand new? I am worried the electronic and the rubber degrade after one to two years later. It will be stored in a open air place. Temp around 28 degree and 80-90% humid.

Does your "friend" own a dive shop? Ordering an RB for a diver who does not seem ready for it is not a good friend. RB technology is changing rapidly and each different unit has its plus and minuses- choosing the correct rebreather for the type of diving you plan on doing is a process that takes time. Discussing the options with an experienced rebreather instructor and diver is required. Rebreathers need more maintenance and care than OC gear and the skills needed to dive them need to be practiced on a regular basis. There are numerous seals, electronics and sensors on a rebreather that need much more care than OC and the conditions you describe are definitely not ideal. I would find a local rebreather instructor in the area and start asking questions and I would cancel the order until you are sure this is a step you want to take in your diving.

I think you should listen to this advice.

If in fact your "friend" has located a CCR 2000 it will likely require a complete overhaul at great expense. You would not find anyone qualified to to service it and you probably won't find anyone to train you on it. It would be a cool thing to hang on a wall as part of diving history but please don't dive it!
