Next up was KISS rebreathers. KISS stands for Keep It Simple Stupid and the design philosophy is a simple mechanical rebreather that travels easy. They have two models, the Classic KISS and the Sport KISS, both start at approx $5,000. The Classic KISS has a depth “limit” of 250 ft and the Sport is rated to 165 ft.

I like the design philosophy of these rebreathers, less automated features, built-in safety features and focusing on making them travel friendly. There main training partner, SSA, had blinged up a number of the sport models in interesting Hawaiian/tourist patterns.

They are well thought out, even if they are a little garage tech in appearance.
