Saturation diving
It has still not
been ruled out that it will be possible to put closed circuit
rebreathers into untethered saturation. One of the fundamental
reasons the Ouroboros rebreather was designed was just for
that. The original development team had their sites set on
taking the Ouroboros into saturation on the Britannic during
Carl Spencer's 2003 expedition. The first operational unit
was developed with a quick release system for safety and a
design to winch a diver into a bell on the seabed for recovery.
Saturation on CCR has not been ruled out and the Ouroboros
is designed with this in mind. This page is just an excuse
to show some images taken during the development teams familiarisation
training on a sat spread in a build up to the Britannic 2003
expedition.
