Underwater Search for Iconic Shipwreck

01 Sep 2004

Russian and Danish divers used the first CE approved closed circuit breathing system last month during a four day underwater research mission in the Arctic's Chukchi Sea. The Inspiration Closed Circuit Rebreathers (CCR) are able to reuse the oxygen left unused in each exhaled breath while they simultaneously remove CO 2using a chemical 'trap'. The net result is greatly extended dive times with relatively small tanks. The CCR helped the eight divers to combat the sub-zero temperatures which exist at the site even in summer.
