Database Yugoslavian Oxygen Rebreathers
This database shows the oxygen rebreathers developed and used in former Yugoslavia. The breathing apparatus are used for different purposes. Oxygenrebreathers in Yugoslavia were developed primarily for defence purposes. Only few models are known. Oxygen devices, because of their characteristics, can offer a long operating time, both above and under water. An important warning for homebuilders; Oxygen rebreathers require specific knowledge and are repeatedly involved in fatal accidents. Never dive alone, make sure nitrogen is removed from the loop and do not dive deeper than 6 metres. No rights can be derived from the information on these pages.
