Hi All,
I have just finished doing some reading on mixed gases, nitrox and rebreathers and decided I wanted some more information (my books didn't answer all my questions...actually gave me more questions).
I have noticed in a few posts here and there that several people seem to be using a rebreather for recreational diving. I was wondering for recreational divers is there much benefit to using a rebreather?
- Why would one move to a rebreather anyway? (I can understand if your doing photography or videos, but is that the only reason?)
- Are there still depth limitations on rebreathers? (I read about older oxygen CCRs)
- Don't they Just add more complication to life and increase the chances of ending up on your death bed sooner??
Truth is as I read I got caught up in the oooo and ahhhh after reading about rebreathers and i'd love to know...apart from the cool factor is there anything else...is it okay to get into a rebreather for the cool factor (if one should have the money, which I dont at the moment but my curiosity has been teased).
Thanks in advance guys!!!
