The Dolphin lasts about double the bottom time as the Ray for any given depth.

The Dolphin is bigger everywhere than the Ray.
I think but I do not know for sure that the Dolphin comes with a bailout bottle and the Ray doesn't.
Specific information seems very sparse, even on Draeger's site.

Alan243,
The Drager Ray is a simple SCR that only uses EAN50. It is designed to a maximum depth of 70 feet for 70 minutes. It has a built-in bailout. There has been talk of an adapter to increase the max depth to 130, but I have not heard anything about it in awhile.
The Drager Dolphin is an SCR that comes with a regulator and nozzles for EAN40, EAN50 and EAN60. You can purchase a nozzle for EAN32. The maximum depth with EAN32 is 130. You have to fill the tank with the desired mix and connect a resupply hose to the appropriate nozzle on the regulator. I own a Dolphin and am glad I have it over the Ray.
You have to take an SCR course before you can take ownership of the unit you buy. The shop selling you the unit should also be able to offer you the course for the appropriate SCR unit.

There is a lot of talk about the drager rebreathers. What does anyone know about the Halcyon 80. It seems to be a considerable step up.
Does anyone have a link that tells more about how a rebreather works, or info on times you can spend at a given depth with a certain rebreather? Several sites sell both the drager and the halcyon, but it seems the information provided about either manufacturers product is fairly limited.
