Going Under Dive Center Rebreather Forum

[jasondbaker]

We had about a dozen people attend the GUDC Rebreather seminar hosted by Chuck Northrup. The seminar was excellent. We spent four hours discussing rebreather history, design, and skills. We participated in a hands-on review of three rebreather models -- Drager Dolphin, Ray, and Inspiration. We discussed safety procedures and some of the maintenance issues associated with rebreathers.

The seminar was more thorough than some dive classes -- and it was free. I truly wish more dive shops would offer this type of hands on training. I appreciate GUDC sponsoring this seminar. Chuck is an outstanding teacher.

I walked away from the seminar feeling much more comfortable with rebreather design. Although I am not experienced enough to debate the pros and cons, I can "visualize" the issues better.
