News- Deep Dive 650ft

[FIXXERVI6]

I believe those guys use an EDO rebreather. The EDO is just a Halcyon RB80 clone. It's basically just a canister/counter lung setup and you can configure it from there anyway you want. I've seen people put the canister on a bp/w setup and a STA with bands coming off the canister to attach double cylinders. The clyinders can be anything from AL80's to steel 130's. You can get, or make a isolation manifold for the clyinders or use them as independant cylinders. You would use two regulators with an extra low pressure hose(s) that feeds gas to the canister. In the event of a rebreather failure you would use the same gas for open circuit to execute your emergancy procedures. Using this method you would have enough back gas to get you out of cave/wreck/deep dive on open circuit in the event of a failure. (You would also use open circuit deco gases like normal too) You can also use two EDO canisters for redundancy or to even extend the dive if your canister's scubber doesn't last long enough for the dive you have planned. It's pretty cool stuff. You can check out the EDO website at:

No problem. Also note that I have no actual experience with rebreathers. Everything that I know of rebreathers is from reading and studying how they work. I'm sure crazyduck could correct me if he notices any information that I've provided is total BS.

Free RB Gear!

Rent a cave setup, and then go diving in caves until you find some poor saps with the gear still attached! The booty is all yours!

You RB guys are crazy!!! 650 feet is beyond crazy!!!
