The Basics of Rebreather Diving

Professional rebreather diving instructor Jill Heinerth helps divers navigate the complex, and sometimes intimidating world of rebreather diving. Providing clear, candid and straightforward information based on her decades of exploration and teaching experience, Jill leads readers through the history, basics and technical aspects of this remarkable, silent approach to diving. Rebreather diving is one of the fastest growing segments of the underwater community. But, until now, easy-to-understand advice and guidance for novices has been hard to find. If you are looking to purchase a rebreather, this book is an opportunity to learn how to be a wise consumer and make the choice that is right for you. If you already own a rebreather and want a review of academics, new trends and the future of CCR diving, then this book will offer a chance to gather new information. If you want to prevent yourself from joining the ranks of 20 or so people who perish each year on rebreathers, this book will inform you about accident analysis and prevention. A valuable tool and a good read for beginners and accomplished SCUBA divers, The Basics of Rebreather Diving is generously illustrated with full color photographs, charts and drawings. Jill adds just the right amount of rich personal anecdotes to provide an insider’s viewpoint about the past, present and future of rebreather diving. Anyone considering or currently diving a rebreather, will find in this book a wealth of knowledge and an enjoyable addition to their diving library. With a foreword by "Shadow Divers" Richie Kohler.
