'Closed Circuit | Open Sourced' is a presentation of the author’s rebreather design philosophy and theory. While rebreather technology has been in use for centuries, it has only seen more widespread adoption since the turn of the 21st century. Despite this recent boom, the technology remains slow to emerge for utility within working or occupational diving environments. Here, the author recounts almost two decades of experience with this technology and presents several considerations that may help guide future standardization of the technology towards discovering future market opportunities. The author shares anecdotal experiences as well as actual engineering design and operational considerations that weigh on his design philosophy, and presents this for consideration through modifying existing rebreathers and designing entirely new systems or subsystems. Detailed information is presented on topics not often covered during rebreather training programs such as configuring offboard gas distribution, bulk loading and theoretical bed life for scrubbers, and theory on redundancy in oxygen monitoring. The book further presents several future opportunities in rebreather utility within the recreational market, rebreathers for mini habitats, and rebreathers configured for working dives. Readers from new rebreather divers to well seasoned experts as well as manufacturers or designers will benefit from the material within this book.

 

Michael Lombardi is a diving technologist and undersea specialist with experience in all modes of human intervention. He has personally spent thousands of hours underwater for 'work' spanning both academic and industry sectors, and is widely published in the field. He is a strong advocate for closed circuit rebreather technologies, having turned to their use for deep scientific exploration in the early 2000's.

COMMERCIAL AND NAVAL DEEP DIVING MANUAL 

At the end of  2010 Dr Stracimir and his son Dr Gojko Gosovic published their in English translated book COMMERCIAL AND NAVAL DEEP DIVING MANUAL, in which the fundamentals of Deep Diving Technique and Medicine are described.

The content of the book directs itself on modern deep diving with a Deep Diving System (DDS) at a depth of over 50 meter (165 feet). During deep diving, divers utilize two-or three-component oxygen depleted gas mixtures. In relation to depth, diving between 60 and 200 meter is considered as a standard deep dive; dives over 200 meter are categorized as dives at exceptional depth. Deep diving can be divided into short-term (bounce) diving and saturation diving. 

The hardbound book contains 485 pages (dimensions 25 x 18 cm / 10””x 7,5”) and describes on a very comprehensive way the techniques, the operational and medical aspects of  modern deep diving and is provided with many drawings, pictures tables and schemes.  

The book is comprised of three parts. The first deals with the general principals of contemporary deep diving, related to both bounce- as well as deep diving. The second part systematically examines the technique and technology of bounce diving; the third part is dedicated to saturation diving.  

The intention of the authors is to bring deep diving closer to its readership, primarily to the present and future generation of deep divers. In their approach, the authors placed key emphasis on the acquisition of general and specific knowledge in the fields of medicine, deep diving techniques, the application of safety measures, the provision of specific and general medical aid and the mandatory application of diving discipline, without which safe and efficient diving is impossible.

The attitudes, expressed in this book are based on concrete research and recommendations issued by authorized national and international institutions, like the US Navy, the Russian Federation Navy, the International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) and the Diving Medical Advisory Committee (DMAC). References to and quotes of relevant  IMCA publications form an integrated part of the extensive information in this book.

Les Recycleurs
Principes, gestion, stratégies de décompression
by Jacques Vettier
 The first and only book which speaks in french about mCCR !Available in library and scuba shop / disponible en librairie et magasin de plongée 
Many divers think that rebreathers are the future of diving. And actually, since a couple of years, these bizarre machines have been gaining boat decks, lake shores and spring basins. They have been initriguing the newbie as much as they scare him. It's because so much is said about them ... They would be so performant but so difficult to master.
Done in the same spirit as the previous book, Nitrox Trimix, this book aims to demystify closed circuit rebreathers. Through the more user friendly models, the mCCR, the famous Kiss-like, it exposes some points that are specific to them and extends to more general questions, that a candidate to a closed circuit rebreather can have : use of sorb, decompression with constant ppO2, configuration, computers, bailout.
It is not a "diving manual", as experience is acquired in the water, but a door opened to a future ... already present !
 
De nombreux plongeurs estiment que les recycleurs sont l’avenir de l’activité. Et de fait, depuis quelques années ces curieuses machines gagnent le pont des bateaux, les berges des lacs, le bord des vasques. Elles intriguent le néophyte tout autant qu’elles l’inquiètent. C’est qu’on prête tant de choses aux recycleurs... Ils seraient tellement performants mais tellement difficiles à maîtriser.
Réalisé dans le même esprit que le précédent ouvrage, Nitrox Trimix, ce livre a pour but de démythifier les circuits fermés. Par le biais des modèles les plus abordables pour l’utilisateur, les mCCR, les fameux Kiss-like, il traite des points qui leur sont spécifiques et étend aux questions plus générales que se pose tout candidat au circuit fermé : l’usage de la chaux sodée, la décompression à PpO2 constante,la configuration, les ordinateurs, la réchappe.
Non pas “manuel de plongée”, car l’expérience s’acquiert dans l’eau, mais porte ouverte sur un futur... déjà présent !

Al duizenden jaren lang probeert de mens de geheimen van de wereld onderwater te ontsluieren en zich in deze wonderlijke, uitdagende en soms afschrikkende leefomgeving te begeven. Aanvankelijk drong de mens door in het rijk van Neptunus en zijn dolfijnen zonder enige technische hulp. Inmiddels is de techniek onmisbaar voor een veilig en langdurig verblijf. De geschiedenis van het duiken beschrijft de pogingen en bijbehorende technieken in al hun facetten.
