Subject: Rebreather O2 considerations
Date: Mon, 22 Jan 1996 21:56:20 -0500

     During Tek I noticed that there were different hoses and clamps and
     such used for each system.  I was curious what special materials, if
     any must be used or are used for the loop and counterlungs.  I noticed
     Stone's unit had hoses that were fabric covered.

     Does the high O2 potential in nitrox rebreathers mean quick
     deterioration of hoses/diaphrams or counterlungs? How often are things
     replaced or "refurbished"?  Some folks have asked about using BCs for
     rebreathers, but will the typical BC bladder be compatible and hold
     up?

     Thanks--DD
