Dräger Dolphin
You are diving with a Dräger Dolphin rebreather -not only any rebreather, hey this is the Dräger Dolphin.
The semi-closed rebreather allows you to experience diving as never before.
What is special about rebreather systems is that your exhaled gas is not released into the water as in conventional open circuit systems, but is purified and returned to the breathing circuit. As a result, you can enjoy your dive to the fullest - not only longer dive, but also a completely undisturbed adventure.
Another aspect for rebreather diving that you will enjoy is that the inhaled air is pleasantly warm and moist. This is because the chemical reaction involved in the absorption of carbon dioxide generates warmth and moisture, and as a result even ice diving can become a real joy
