Hose dependent Mixgas rebreather
The Tubox is similar in model to Dräger’s LAR series. However, this unit is constructed as a device with an umbilical.The user has to choose if he uses pure oxygen or EAN60. The gas fed by the umbilical should be the same as the bailoutgas (1,5ltr bottle) the diver wears.

| Extra info: | The user has to choose if he uses pure oxygen or EAN60. The used gas fed y the umbilical should be the same as the bailoutgas (1,5ltr bottle) the diver wears. So he dives max 10 (hmm….. 7?) or 25 mtrs with nitrox 60. | ||||
| Additional information: | These figures are bases on knowledge from 1983. Please do not use the apparatus in this way. You will have a pO2 problem or a CNS problem when diving a long time with 60% oxygen on this depth…. | ||||

| Info: |
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!
