Silent Diving - Diving Rebreathers

By coincident one day we ran across this group of rebreather divers underwater. One class of 4 and a fellow underwater camera man, a total of 6 rebreather divers. This is the "new" way to dive, no bubbles, no big tanks, however they are complicated equipment and quite pricey. It still looks cool though.

rebreathers are amzing pieces of equipment. and really useful for the elite forces (SAS) because you cant alert the enemy to ur presence coz there's no bubbles and there's no hising. but i can see a flaw in the rebreathers in this video....I CAN SEE BUBBLES!!!!

No bubbles refer to that there is no exhaust bubbles from your breathing. There is still bubbles coming from buoyancy compensation. I can also see that one of the divers is letting out some air from around his mouth piece or from his mask. The later has to do with equalization of mask pressure.

Yeah, technowledgey is a real problem. As is the English language. A decent rebreather is safe, it's the person using it that's the weak link in the chain.

So what are the bubbles coming out of their regs?  Farts?

and if something goes wrong...you switch to the TWO backup systems or switch to OC and call the dive...

I personally don't like Rebreathers because you manily remain on technowledgey and if something goes wrong...
