My Rebreather FLOODED!

We broke one of the most important rules of diving a rebreather, we flooded the unit AND THEN tried to breathe from it again. What can possibly go wrong?
WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS WITH YOUR OWN REBREATHER.

Considering how well this worked, and how old the tech is, I’m really baffled this feature isn’t standard on rebreathers. Legitimately it sounds too good to be true; I’d love to see some follow up on the reasons why this isn’t used in modern rebreather units.

@brianc8916 25 күн бұрын

It could be a few things, either the material or procedure to make it is too expensive, the material to make it is too scarce, too few situations where it would actually be beneficial for the diver, or too redundant since they have a bailout tank to use which would drop the number of times it could be useful even more or some combination of those to justify its production. There just isn't a big enough need for it, at least for now, to be produced.

@anchopanchorancho 25 күн бұрын

Everyone knows rebreathers are pure markup. They cost far less than the 10k people pay to make them. They know their market and would rather get more money than sell a superior product. Capitalism pure and simple.

@brolohalflemming7042 25 күн бұрын

I'd like to know as well and if anyone could answer, it would be Mike. I'm guessing it's more the risk rather than materials. Breathable materials exist and have advanced since that was made, eg at a very simplistic level, Goretex. But I'm thinking there's a risk that if you could safely flood a rebreather, people may think it's ok to dive without a bailout tank. Especially given cave diving can be getting you + gear through tight restrictions. So leave bailout behind, explore further. It'll be fine, right? Or another recovery job for Edd. I'm also thinking it might be a maintenance issue, so care for your membrane or being able to tell if it's degrading because that's also a SoL issue. So much like with rebreathers in general. I can't (or shouldn't) be able to wander into a dive shop or buy one on ebay because there are many ways to die. I did rebreather certification 20yrs ago and remember a big part of that was about understanding and caring for your rebreather.

I imagine there's a practical maximum operating limit (pressure) for the Semi-Permeable membrane that this uses to keep the water out of the sorb, as there would be a pressure differential across it given that air is a compressible substance while water is not. At some depth the water would inevitably breakthrough and flood the sorb leading to the caustic cocktail they mentioned.

@baginthewind4501 25 күн бұрын

Going deeper wouldn't change the pressure differential across the membrane. The absolute pressure would be higher on both sides of the membrane, but the differential pressure is caused by breathing only.

@joeysultan3621 25 күн бұрын

@@baginthewind4501 You make a good point. I suppose it depends on where that diluent is added to the loop (upstream or downstream of the membrane) when the diver changes depth which is a real possibility given the task loaded situation.

I was always paranoid about diving. Then I have found this channel and videos like this: It shows that even when things go horribly wrong, there are plenty of failsafes. Even in this vid, I was tensed up when I saw the bubbles coming from your rebreather. But you had fail safes and it was no problem, even if the rebreather would fail. That took away a LOT of my fears. I have written to a diving school 5 minutes ago. I wanna try it out sooo bad now. Thank you for focusing on safety and lifting the fear of a lot of non divers and maybe for giving me a new hobby?

the membrane on the outside is a semipermeable membrane like your cell walls. they are very expensive to produce but have some great advantages when it comes to flooding a rebreather and preventing channeling in the sorbe. I think that now the membrane should be a lot cheaper because they are more common and we could see this coming to other rebreathers soon.

Since you guys seem to be getting a lot deeper into the technical aspects of rebreather diving, I would like to hear what you think of the safety record for rebreathers. There was a pretty good presentation from Rebreather Forum 4 where DAN tried to estimate the rebreather fatality rate and found that it was around 2-4 per 100,000 dives. That would mean that as many as 1 in 25 divers on average wouldn't live long enough to see their 1000th rebreather dive. This would put rebreather in a comparable category as some of the more extreme danger sports.

Even though you are 100% sure about the theory and the consequences, please don't test it in reality because it could have taken a toll on your life under water especially in the over head environment. Because you have had always condemned the divers for not being cautious during a cave dive so compared to that this is super dangerous when you are volunteering to test a product despite being aware about the side effects. Wish you all the best and please shoot and upload your dives so that we can get to learn lot more. ❤
