Info:
The Oxymix is an self-contained underwater breathing system allowing the
diver to switch between oxygen or mixed gas at any point during the
dive. This unique concept offers the advantages of two system combined
into one giving:
-discretion and long duration while being used in closed circuit
-the
most effective combination of depth and duration when used in
semi-closed circuit
The 97
version of the Oxymix offers great flexibility for use while swimming.
The oxygen supply is fixed directly below the front shell, and the 2
litre mixture cylinder is carried in a harness on the right leg. The leg
harness does not impede finning.
The
duration is controlled by the soda lime capacity and is 4 hours whether
breathing oxygen or mixture.
The
apparatus can be used for medium duration dives on oxygen (max 3 hours),
requiring short excursions (20-30 min) to depth (25-30 m) using the
appropriate mixture. |
