CCR (Closed Circuit Rebreather)

A Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR) is a specialized underwater breathing device that recycles a diver’s exhaled air. Unlike traditional scuba tanks that release exhaled gases into the water, a CCR filters out carbon dioxide and reuses the remaining oxygen, maintaining a steady, optimal mixture. This system allows divers to stay underwater longer and breathe more efficiently. CCRs are often used by technical or deep-sea divers due to their efficiency and reduced gas consumption. They require careful monitoring and training, as they involve complex technology and oxygen management to ensure safety during dives.
