Some makes of rebreather

 

  • Deep and Altus Pursuit rebreather controller system by Narked at 90 An upgrade to the Classic Inspiration rebreather.
  • The Davis Submerged Escape Apparatus was the first or nearly the first rebreather to be made in quantity.
  • The "Universal" rebreather was a long-dive derivative of the Davis Submerged Escape Apparatus, intended to be used with the Sladen Suit, which see for more information about it.
  • Military rebreathers (VIPER and SIVA) made by Carleton Life Support and the Viper E made by Carleton and Juergensen Defense Corporation
  • Russian IDA71 military and naval rebreather
  • CDBA = "Clearance Diver's Breathing Apparatus":
    • Siebe Gorman CDBA: see there also for CDMBA, SCBA, SCMBA, UBA
    • A type introduced in 1999 in the Royal Navy, being an update of the BioMarine/Carleton MK16: description; images:
  • In the Royal Navy the Carleton CDBA is (as at June 2007) planned to be superseded by the CDLSE = "Clearance Divers' Life Support Equipment" made by Divex in Aberdeen in Scotland. It is an electronic closed circuit rebreather allowing diving to 60 meters = 197 feet.[8]; Google search for information
  • Siebe Gorman Salvus
  • The Savox was made by Siebe Gorman. See this link and the image at this link. It was an oxygen rebreather with a use duration of 45 minutes. It was worn in front of the body. It had no hard casing.
  • The Blackett's Aerophor is a nitrox semi-closed-circuit rebreather with liquid gas storage made in England from 1910 onwards for use in mine rescue and other industrial uses.
  • SEFA is a make of industrial oxygen rebreather with 2 hours duration on a filling.
  • SDBA is a type of frogman's oxygen rebreather. It has a nitrox variant called ONBA.
  • FROGS (= Full Range Oxygen Gas System) is the make of frogman's oxygen rebreather which has been used in France since 15 October 2002: see this link (in French): image at this link: it is made by the diving gear makers Aqualung: see this link for more information.
  • Some military rebreathers (for example the US Navy MK-25 and the MK-16 mixed-gas rebreather), and the Phibian CCS50 and CCS100 rebreathers, were developed by Oceanic. (Stuart Clough of Undersea Technologies developed the Phibian's electronics package.)
  • The current US Navy Mark 16 Mod 2 (Explosive Ordinance Disposal) and Mark 16 Mod 3 (Naval Special Warfare) units utilize the Juergensen Defense Corporation Mark V Control System.
  • The KISS line of manually operated closed circuit rebreathers designed by Gordon Smith of Jetsam Technologies
  • Oceanic developed the Phibian CCS50 and CCS100 rebreathers; Stuart Clough of Undersea Technologies developed the Phibian's electronics package. They have developed military rebreathers, for example the US Navy MK-25 and the MK-16 mixed-gas rebreather. There were unconfirmed reports that Oceanic was going to bring out a new rebreather around October 2006.
