Collection: Rebreathers

A rebreather recycles the gas you exhale, removing carbon dioxide and adding oxygen, so you can stay down longer with little to no bubbles. That makes rebreathers popular with photographers and technical divers. Our collection includes the KISS Sidewinder, along with oxygen sensors and Shearwater Petrel 3 Fischer and NERD 2 Fischer computers that connect directly to a rebreather.

Rebreather diving requires training on the specific unit you use. We teach a recreational rebreather class and ANDI training on KISS and Prism rebreathers at our Montclair, CA dive center, so you can learn and buy in the same place. Oxygen sensors need replacing on a regular schedule, so it's smart to keep spares on hand.
