Old Dräger SSG 1919 rescue rebreather
by therebreathersite
I have not been able to find much information about the SSG 1919. The photos are from the fantastic museum Deitsches Bergbaumuseum Bochum. Well worth a visit. Both pictures are courtesy of Montanhistorische Dokumentationszentrum (montan.dok) beim Deutschen Bergbau-Museum Bochum
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!
