- This video illustrates 2 ways to achieve proper trim on your rebreather bailout bottles. Too often we see divers using poor rigging or mounting techniques, resulting in their bailout tanks sitting perpendicular to their body. This creates lots of drag when swimming through the water. Divetech's KISS rebreather instructor Drew McArthur and Tony Land talk about how they rig their tanks parallel to their bodies.
Nice work - Looking good! :)
Thank you for producing this video would you mind going over the different types of rebreathers or what the different parts of the system i.e. bailout bottle I think I know but would be good to hear from an experience rebreather diver
Thank you for doing this video! So many people run their bailouts such that the bottom of the tanks points either straight up or at a 45 to their body 😂😂😂. It drives me insane seeing such horrible rigging. The bailout should be streamlined and horizontal with your body just like in sidemount. Fundamentals in diving are important.
It’s not a handle... it’s there to help you route your hoses under the elastic bands.
Not to nitpick, but that is a loop bungee, not a continuous. A continuous bungee would be a single strand with small bolt snaps on both ends, running continuously across your back from one side to the other. Then clipped off to both chest d rings. Good video though! Happy diving!
While I want to try scuba diving eventually, I am absolutely terrified of the rebreathers. No matter how much research I do I still can't seem to understand how exactly they work. It may just be me, but then again I have exactly zero training in this so my knowledge on the subject other than what I have read online is completely null X3.
Hi Jake, Like cars, the different makes and models of rebreathers can range from very complex to extraordinarily simple. Regardless of brand, the concept of a rebreather is fairly simple.
