Take Your Diving to the Next Level With Technical Diving
Using mixture of gases, divers explore at greater depths and for much longer time.
The popularity of rebreather diving (technology where exhaled breath is recycled, not expelled) is increasing.
Technical divers try to extend their time under the water, either by going to more depth than usual with normal air, or by exploring marine life for longer periods of time.
Technical diving is no more an elite sport that usual man cannot afford.
Its popularity grows each year on a wide scale.
The margins for errors are slim, so technical divers boldly push the boundaries of exploration and technologies.
Divers often operate outside the range of rescue, or in environments that do not have direct and clear path to the surface.
The gear for technical diving includes colored regulators to indicate specific gas mixtures and wing-style BCD that increases lift ability for twin cylinders and cumbersome equipment.
Rebreather diving makes use of a closed breathing loop recycling diver's exhaled breath.
The technology is at the cutting edge of the scuba diving.
Chemicals are used to replace carbon dioxide from the exhaled air, and at the same time oxygen is entered into the system to sustain life.
Rebreather technology decreases air consumption greatly, as well as reduces the alarm vulnerable marine life as it does not produce bubbles.
This kind of diving is not for a newbie because it involves a lot of training and careful gear preparation.
So despite its popularity it remains a specialized realm for experienced divers.
CCR stands for closed-circuit rebreather equipment that recycles one's breath and dumps gas only during the ascent.
Scrubbling unit has a chemical that absorbs carbon dioxide from exhaled gas, at the same time a mixture of air and pure oxygen is pushed into the loop for a breathable and safe inhaling mixture.
The work flow of a rebreather unit can be summarized as follows.
Breathable air goes from scrubbing unit and back to the mouth of a diver.
Exhaled air flows from the mouthpiece into the scrubbing unit through a special hose.
Pure oxygen is stored in oxygen cylinder and is added to the breathing loop.
It replaces oxygen used by the diver.
Then an absorbant chemical stored in the scrubbing unit removes CO2 from exhaled breath.
Air cylinder holds the air that is introduced into the system thus maintaining the volume of gas.
The rebreather's gas content and toxicity level can be checked on a computer display.
Train yourself and use advanced equipment of technical diving to take your hobby to the next level and explore the secrets of marine life and ocean's depths.
