Summary: More than "Rebreathers for dummies"
Review: One of the authors writes, "This book is the 'rebreathers for dummies' text". While not a technical text, per se, it is much more than a "dummies" handbook. It is a concise, well-written guide to both the history and current state of rebreather diving systems. It is also well-illustrated, with excellent diagrams and tables. After reading this book the reader will have a good grounding in rebreather technology, and its important safety issues, and be able to not only evaluate the relative advantages and disadvantages of the increasing number of recreational rebreathers being offered for sale, but whether this kind of technical diving is really suited for them. Rebreathers do not suffer fools, and this kind of diving is not a substitute for the relative simplicity of open circuit SCUBA using compressed air. By the way, while not mandatory, it is invaluable if the reader is familiar with the principles of Nitrox diving.
