In early January I got the chance to have a dive on the new RedBare Rebreather from VMS – Vobster Marine Systems.  Overall impressions were quite easy – I really liked it! The initial thing you notice about the RedBare is that it’s much smaller than it’s big brother, the RedHead.  Most of this is

CCR Divers Performing Open Circuit Bailout Ascent Full Size
SDI TDI UK shared this document over on Facebook not that long ago. It will make interesting reading to any diver, but especially technical divers and even more so rebreather divers.  http://www.hse.gov.uk/research/rrpdf/rr1073.pdf If you are planning your bailout on your normal (and probably optimistic) breathing rate of 15 to 20 litres per minute then the

Stage Cylinder Rigging

Bad Stage Rigging Featured Image
On most courses that we teach, a lot of time is spent reconfiguring student’s stage and / or bailout cylinders.  This is to be fully expected on entry level courses, where a student may not have dived with a stage before, or may have bought it specially for the course.  On higher level courses a
