David Elbaz from Israel build his own rebreather.
| Before I start writing about the rebreather I want a appreciation on the first lines, to you and your great website. I want everyone who is interested in my rebreather project to know that without the discovery of this website three years ago, this “Baby” could never born. Here I found the inspiration, the knowledge and the ability to build the project. THANK YOU JAN WILLEM. Behind this project there are hours, days, months and three years of information collection, and standing near lathes and mills machines watching carefully what the man is doing, and more more and more………..moments of supreme pleasure. |

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!
