Escape Mixgas rebreather from 66 m
Dhe TR66 also called escape rebreather is a semi-closed device for escaping from depth. The gas flow and composition of the gas is set to allow the user to stay at 66 meter, e.g. to swim out of a hatch. Due to the semi-closed technique, the diver inhales a lower fraction than the oxygen fraction supplied. Partly due to the short staying times at depth, this is possible, according to the manufacturer. However, this oxygen loading applies to emergency situations and can never be applied in recreational activities. Besides the escape function, the rebreather can also be used to serve in toxic environments or as a life jacket at the surface.

Therebreathersite was founded by Jan Willem Bech in 1999. After a diving career of many years, he decided to start technical diving in 1999. He immediately noticed that at that time there was almost no website that contained the history of closed breathing systems. The start for the website led to a huge collection that offered about 1,300 pages of information until 2019. In 2019, a fresh start was made with the website now freely available online for everyone. Therebreathersite is a source of information for divers, researchers, technicians and students. I hope you enjoy browsing the content!
