Scuba Show 2007: Ouroboros Rebreather

Submitted by bill on June 4, 2007 – 7:11 pmNo Comment

Ouroboros RebreatherNext up was the Ouroboros Rebreather, another UK company and a very high tech and high priced rebreather. The Ouroboros features a circular shaped scrubber which gives it a unique appearance. The use of this feature makes it look like the legendary US NAVY Mark 15 rebreather but this unit a lot more reliable and is CE certified.

The Ouroboros is made by the same folks who are involved with the Delta-P VR3 dive computer and this rebreather-friendly dive computer, is the integrated as the main monitoring handset. The unit features an L.E.D. based heads up display to notify the user of a problem. This one feature is very popular and is present on almost every rebreather at the show.

The unit is a little larger than AP Diving’s unit and these start at approx $17,000, depending on the exchange rate. This makes it the most expensive unit currently on the sport diving market.

By the way, Ouroboros is an ancient symbol meaning serpent or dragon.
