So there is a yellow turtle, "box of debt / death" in your life or you wish there
was. Then you're at the right place. I aim to make this the definitive Buddy
Inspiration Closed Circuit rebreather site
I am not the most experienced Inspiration user out there nor an expert, But when I got my ccr I found there were little bits of information all over the web, but none was what I was looking for and most was wrong and some dangerous. I am attempting to capture all the relevant information here so that Users, new, old or potential can get the best information.

WARNING: Diving with a rebreather is potentially more dangerous than diving on Open Circuit SCUBA. If you are not scrupulous in preparing, using, monitoring and maintaining a rebreather you may be seriously injured or killed. The information expressed on this site is my own opinion and I accept no responsibility of any loss or injury that may arise from using it. Get trained by a recognised agency, practice the skills and don't get complacent. |
