Like earlier years I visited the Boot 2013 show in Dusseldorf.
This huge event is the largest fair showing Boats (mainly) Fish
catching gear and more important Scuba equipment. The fair
showing the diving gear is a mixture of travel information,
technical gear and sales. This year the fair was well visited
and most companies showed a positive view to the future. This
page is not indented to inform you about the products but just
to give an impression what i have seen. Links to the
manufacturers give more information about the products.

Submatix shows their new
oxygen/nitrox rebreather and Bailout rebreather. The
Oxygen/Nitrox rebreather "Combo 2" is based on the
combination of a regular closed circuit system combined with a
EMCCR. This EMCCR is a electronic monitored system that uses two
oxygen cells. The scrubber of the system is split in the
counterlung. This way making the unit slim. Nice system that can
be upgraded in price and function. The bailout system is also
EMCCR with a computer designed by submatix.

Since cows
have a special meaning for the Dutch wreckdivers, ths cow should
have been the club mascot. Also you can see the art and love
invested in the design. SDS members must be extremely jealous.

Even pressure gauges are fitted,
please understand these bottles are not OC bottles but dual
passive addition rebreathers breathed through a pendulum system! |

A very clever design feature.
The green part is operated in position open, when the scrubber
is mounted. If not the green valve shut off the loop, so no
breathing is possible when the scrubber is left out! |
