True rubber diving drone from the 60ies. Would you have dared diving in that gear? Sealed into a fullbody rubber shell, the only opening sealed with hoses that keep you breathing, uncomfortable and hard to inhale. Down into a shallow dark cave for hours to come.

Castoro C96 Oxygen Rebreather

With a bit of service, this thing might still be diveable... Now if only I could get the Co2 scrubber to fit through the damn hole >:V

[chrisdiver2001]

I love those thick and heavy breathing hoses.

MSA McCaa Breathing Apparatus with Burrell Diaphragm Facepiece.

An old oxygen rebreather from the 1930's commonly used for mine rescue and sewer inspection.

I've partially disassembled this unit and it's awaiting future cleaning. As usual, this example belongs to @bureau-of-mines

ICYWW (In Case You Were Wondering):

When it so happens that Jabberjaw's bandmates and dive crew (as in Alan, Bubbles, Clamhead and Shelly) are diving, it's likely they could be using rebreather units rather than full-on SCUBA.

And I just hope they know what they're doing, as rebreathers are rather fickle diving gear which, without proper training, can be dangerous.

Brave divers: Saturation diving, russian style. Oldschool gear keeps them alive.

Bath time!

Sneak peek while the rest of the kit has yet to be cleaned, but here's a before and after on an incredibly scarce 1930's MSA Kops-Type Oxygen Rebreather Facepiece that @bureau-of-mines recently won

The rubber is in astonishingly minty condition despite the age of the mask and the layer of a barn filth on it However the lenses have unfortunately become 'crazed'.

They aren't broken, but the layer of celluloid and glue between the two panes of glass has deteriorated, creating the 'shattered' look despite the glass being fully intact. This is a common problem with older pre-WWII gas masks and it sadly can't be repaired.

All the same, we're both incredibly excited to have this mask, considering the only other example we know of belongs to atemschutzddr.de, whose curator has since passed away.

More to come later once I get around to cleaning the rest of the kit.
