You dive into the water and in an instant you are in a different world. Stress, noise and the hustle and bustle of everyday life suddenly seem far away. You become one with the silent world and are acutely aware of your senses. No noisy valves, no hissing air, no annoying air bubbles - nothing. Even the ordinarily shy inhabitants of the sea are hardly bothered by your presence. And you are free to enjoy the fascinating feeling of being an accepted guest. For the first time you can experience the silence of the silent world.

Closed Circuit Rebreather
The Inspiration Closed Circuit is the first CE approved closed circuit breathing system.
The Inspiration gives all the benefits of Nitrox but without the pre-mixing and without the depth limitations. Oxygen-rich breathing throughout the dive and the super-oxygen-rich gas mix during decompression drastically reduces decompression obligations on every dive - without pre-mixing, without carrying extra cylinders and without gas-switching. With No-stop times dramatically increased, the benefits of perfect buoyancy control, warmer, quieter diving and bubble-free operation allowing really close sea life encounters - the Inspiration closed circuit rebreather is revolutionising diving today, offering a whole new experience to Sport and Commercial divers worldwide.
What training is required to dive with the Inspiration Closed Circuit Rebreather?
