There are a few misconceptions about rebreathers. It may seem that rebreathers are complicated systems that are reserved for the crazy or elite diver, but they aren’t really. The way they work is actually very simple. Increasingly, more and more recreational divers are moving onto rebreathers. There are a number of benefits whether you are someone cruising the reefs at 20m or a diver exploring a cave at 100m.
