Proton rebreather (experimental?)
The Siebe Gorman Proton breathing apparatus has the characteristics of a semi-closed system that works with oxygen and a diluent gas or with nitrox. The device would then belong in the semi-closed database. However, there is insufficient information to be able to say anything about this.
Any information about this apparatus is welcome. To date, responses indicate that it is a prototype, which makes the naming even more confusing with models such as proton and proto.
Therebreathersite was founded by Jan Willem Bech in 1999. After a diving career of many years, he decided to start technical diving in 1999. He immediately noticed that at that time there was almost no website that contained the history of closed breathing systems. The start for the website led to a huge collection that offered about 1,300 pages of information until 2019. In 2019, a fresh start was made with the website now freely available online for everyone. Therebreathersite is a source of information for divers, researchers, technicians and students. I hope you enjoy browsing the content!
