That is it! I was just interested in this system and how it worked. Has anyone tried these or know where they are used? Thanks.
 
Don't know how good your German is, but at the link it says:

"The diving aparatus OHBA by Nippon Sanso Inc. (Sanso=oxygen) uses
a closed system.

The exhaled breath is cleaned of CO2 and enriched with oxygen.
That way the OHBA makes a dive duration of 10 minutes at 5 meters
possible.

The unit was not widely used and has disappeared. Currently in production in Japan is the Fieno".

Kinda looks like the Bond gimmick in Thundeball.
Hope the translation helps. I'm sure it's not the only unit of it's kind, and that it's next to impossible to find any of them. Maybe try the Historical Diving Society, they might know more on the subject ... .

Good luck
Stefan
 
Thanks for the translatiuon.

My German is not as good as yours, but was good enough to get the basic idea of the unit.

Again, thanks for the information everyone.
