Benefits of the Hybidre compared to traditional rebreathers

 

Cost effective production (good dealer margin)
Good retail price possible compared to the existing rebreathers on the market
Possible interesting to other activities requiring a supply of breathable gas (eg. climbing, fire brigade, hang-gliding etc.)
Generates a lot of interest among divers.
Is connected easily through means of a quick connector (inflator type).
Compatible with all regulators with a balanced first stage.
Can be integrated with traditional scuba diving equipment like BCDs, dry suits etc.
Only requires a minimal adaptation of the equipment (clips).
It can be used without the filter system.
Can be used as a BCD inflator system (like the Air 2).
Works with all oxygen enriched breathing gasses).
It is modular and can be expanded (upgraded).
Offers a large range of products.
A quick pre dive preparation (± 5 minutes).
Short post dive cleaning (± 10 minutes).
Lightweight equipment (2,5 Kg.), which allows easy travel without surcharge for flying.
Comfortable to wear.
High breathing comfort in all positions and swimming directions.
Reduced gas consumption (saves a volume of ¾ to ½ compared to an open circuit).
Optional use as a closed circuit with 100% pure oxygen.
Practical as a back up or safety unit for stops.
Ideal for penetration in confined spaces (caves etc.)
Only a minor increase in consumption at greater depths.
Easy to use (little need for training).
Accessible for novice divers.
Compact, thus offering little resistance while diving in currents.
Little influence on basic diving techniques (hovering using lungs can be done).
Quick increase in autonomy.
Allows compensation for differences in gas consumption between divers.
 Allows switching to open circuit without removing the regulator form the mouth (eg. in emergency situations).
The unit doesn’t need any manipulations underwater like flushing.
Almost no influence on buoyancy.
Unit can be used with normal weighting.
Constant flow and overpressure valve integrated in the mouthpiece so easily accessible to the diver.
The filter system can be quickly and easily purged.
Various designs of the mouthpieces possible
