Hi,
I have just been looking at some rebreather articles, etc, and was wondering if anyone can tell me the costs involved (including time) for maintenance. (Not after a purchase price, but the extra's).
It's my understanding, that unlike an open circuit reg (refil the tank, and rinse your regs), rebreathers take substantial more time to maintain (and cost).
I've heard about the need to replace CO2 filters, O2 sensors, and Helium (???). I was wondering if anyone could comment on what they believe it costs them per dive (or over a period of xxx dives, etc) to own a rebreather, both in time, and in cash? (And how often these things need to be changed, etc).
Thanks
Adam.
