'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. More on

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 !

Auteur: Ronald Vreijsen
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.
