In 2003, we started rebreather diving in the North Sea. After having noticed that diving with the Dräger Atlantis did not offer us the desired dive times, we quickly switched to the Inspiration. During these first rebreather dives at sea with John and Ivo it was soon clear that this was the future for us! Here are the photos from 20 years ago!

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!
