Closed Circuit Rebreather

Dive the Poseidon MK VI Discovery eCCR … the most advanced diving system on the planet!

The eCCR (electronic closed circuit rebreather) is the most advanced, cutting edge, diving system available for underwater exploration. It rivals the astronaut’s primary life support system in sophistication, and shares much of the same technology.  The eCCR recirculates and conditions the onboard gas supply, extending dive times far beyond those of traditional scuba divers.  In addition, there are no bubbles and noise associated with open circuit scuba.

Learn how rebreathers work and how eCCR divers can remain underwater longer. Discover how they enable divers to closely approach marine life to interact, to take video and photographs, stay warmer and make observations that would otherwise be missed by divers on open circuit scuba.  Once you’ve gone Silent, you’ll hear what you’ve been missing!
