‘Closed Circuit | Open Sourced’ is a presentation of the author’s rebreather design philosophy and theory. Despite the recent market boom with this technology, it remains slow to emerge for utility within working or occupational diving environments. Here, the author recounts almost two decades of experience with this technology and presents several considerations that may help guide future standardization of the technology. The book further presents several future opportunities in rebreather utility within the recreational market, rebreathers for mini habitats, and rebreathers configured for working dives. Readers from new rebreather divers to well seasoned experts as well as manufacturers or designers will benefit from the material within this book. Buy it on Amazon   Buy it on LuLu (eCopy)

This manual was the capstone document from our Diving a Dream program, which ran from 2004-2007. Putting pen to paper on this one helped Matthew Johnston earn SDI Scubility diver certification #001, and become the world’s first ventilator dependent diver. This manual is a resource guide for others following in his footsteps. There is such a very long way to go in affording the magic of the underwater world to everyone.
