RIP, Troop.

Just parenthetically, I was under the impression that rebreathers could NOT be used below forty feet.

Anyone know for sure?

The good Doc was indeed a visionary and leader. Having lived around the ocean all my life and love of diving I forgot all about him.

But then again I think I've forgotten more than I ever remembered( My tribute line for Yogi Berra).

Thanks for posting this.

Personally, Mike Nelson, of “Sea Hunt” fame was the underwater combatant that inspired me. (Lloyd Bridges)

This is the "Emerson Rig" oxygen rebreather we were trained on in 1979.

Soon after, the teams transitioned to the vastly superior German Draeger rig.

Here is the modern Draeger rebreather. It operates off a demand regulator, instead of an oxygen flow valve.

The Draeger is just the thing on his chest to his mouth, not the gear on his side or back.
