CCR Malfunction at Extreme Depth – How I Made It Back

Описание: At 240ft (70m) my CCR electronics failed on a deep technical dive – and I had to fight to get back to the surface alive. This video breaks down exactly what happened during this rebreather dive, how the CCR failed, and the decisions that made the difference between a fatal diving accident and a survivable emergency.

In this dive I was on a closed circuit rebreather (CCR) when the primary electronics died at depth, followed by a second failure on ascent. I talk through the dive plan, gas choices, bailout options and what every technical diver and rebreather diver should consider before a deep dive.

If you’re into technical diving, CCR training or just want to understand how to handle a serious scuba diving emergency, this breakdown covers:
– What caused the CCR failure at 240ft

– How I diagnosed the problem underwater

– The bailout and ascent strategy I used

– Lessons for CCR divers, instructors and deep wreck / cave divers

Eagle eyed observers may notice that I suddenly grow a beard during the recording of this video!!
