Pelagian Rebreather Not For Sale No CE Mark
I have completed mod 1 and mod 2 on this unit
with instructor Mark Ellyatt this is a easy to dive manual unit
I fitted a 45 OMS wing and a comfy harness 2 attached a extra o2 cell
for my VR3 computer John Womack snr
We do have 02 cells and some accessories
these units come with no wing or harness
we can supply these using OMS- -DIVERITE OR APEKS WINGS AND BACKPLATES.
we keep all the VR 3 TECHNOLOGY COMPUTERS AND LEADS + SOFTWARE FOR THE EXTRA O2 CELL.

Any diver who have used a few different rebreathers would agree most are top buoyant. We looked at many models on offer and realized that over sized head compartments and inverted cylinders contributed significantly to this problem. So, we did the opposite. We made the head smaller in gas volume by arranging components more compact, used a larger water trap in the bottom of the scrubber and turned the cylinders with valves and regulators up wards. Further we made breathing hoses just as long as needed, minimized the counter lung top section and directed the gas down towards the side of the divers lungs. The result is perfect trim and balance. As the counter lungs are front mounted and bent, they are kept at the same hydrostatic pressure as the divers lungs. This give a very low breathing resistance in both vertical and horizontal body positions. Only if you turn upside down vertically there is some resistance but, unless you are exploring the inside of a Barrel sponge, this is not a very practical position anyway! An average diver will not need to ad any, ( or very few), weights diving in a wet suit.

The Pelagian DCCCR is one of the narrowest closed circuit rebreathers available. With proper training and sufficient bailout, wreck penetration should not be a problem. The stainless steel mounting plate follow the contours of a standard back plate, allowing the weight of the cylinders closer to your back. This give better balance and over all streamlining. As there is no cover, any cylinder size from 1,8 - 11 liters can be used. Scrubber and cylinders are attached with individual cam bands making assembly and disassembly a 3-minute job. If you choose the optional Explorer scrubber the mid section is 12 cm longer, but not wider. With the standard scrubber the whole unit, less cylinders, passes the airline hand carry restrictions. All plumbing are standard inflator and LP hoses. No tools are needed for assembly. To calibrate the sensor displays, you need a small hex key and flat head screw driver. The weight of the unit with full standard scrubber, two full 2,7 liter, (19 cft), cylinders, but no BCD is 20 kg. The weight of the unit as you would travel with it, i.e without cylinders and with an empty scrubber, is 9,5 kg.

One of the problems inherent in any rebreather. is the build up of moist as a result of the chemical process of removing carbon dioxide from the exhaled gas. The vapor does prevent dehydration and is very pleasant to breathe, but the problem is that oxygen sensors read lower than normal when they get damp. On the Pelagian DCCCR we placed the injection point of the diluent gas so that every time diluent is added it blows over the sensor faces. This accomplish two functions: The sensor faces are blown dry and you get an instant change in PO2 on your O2 displays giving you a chance to see if your sensors are reading correct or not. For example, if you have air in your diluent cylinder and you are in 20 msw, your display should read around PO2 0.63 ATA, (ambient pressure X 0,21). Verifying sensor readings can be done on any closed circuit rebreather, but typically only after purging the breathing loop three times. On the Pelagian it is sufficient to gently keep a low flow of diluent gas for a few seconds to displace the breathing gas surrounding the sensors to get your reading. This will save you a lot of diluent, especially on a deep dive.

Key features
● Low travel weight – The Pelagian DCCCR is only 10,5 kg with out cylinders and can be fitted in the overhead compartment of a commercial air craft.
● Instant cell validation – The O2 sensors can be exposed to a small portion of diluent gas at any time during the dive, thereby reducing gas consuming loop flushes.
● Front to side mounted counter lungs – For effortless horizontal trim and lowest possible work of breathing in most positions.
● Runs off standard alkaline 9V battery – Low running cost and easy global access to replacement batteries.
● Non-depth limited O2 addition – O2 dosage is adjustable during the dive and driven by depth compensating first stage.
● Mechanical O2 delivery – Easy operation. No set point controller to break.
● X-wing back plate – Cylinders attached with simple cam bands allowing any size cylinder between 1.3 L – 11 L to be used, even with standard valves!
● Excellent trim and balance – Designed from the beginning with perfect trim as a focal point, Low displacement means that most people don’t have to add weights when diving in a wet suit.
● Standardized replacement parts – Most service kits, hoses and other wear and tear parts are available in most dive shops and user replaceable, which means less cancelled dives.
What is included?
The Pelagian DCCCR is sold as a kit at 5800 USD and includes the following components:
1 – Stainless steel X-wing mounting plate.
2 – 3,4 kg capacity standard scrubber with bottom plug and head section ready for the addition of a live deco computer. This scrubber is rated to 4 hrs in cold water and 6 hrs in tropical water down to 40 msw.
3 – Two front to side mounted counter lungs available in Small, Medium or Large volume, (please specify your body weight and height when ordering)
4 – Breathing hose with t-pieces and DSV.
5 - Rear Loop Hose Cordura Covers
6 – Two first stage regulators.
7 – Automatic Diluent Addition valve, (ADV) with instant sensor validation.
8 – Oxygen addition unit with needle valve and manual over ride button
8 – Sensor display with hard wired and potted cable for continuous monitoring of two cell read outs
9 – O-ring kit
10 – Operations manual (emailed in pdf format)
This means that to get it ready for diving the following have to be added:
Two Teledyne R22D oxygen sensors at USD 90 each.
Two cylinders for O2 and DIL. We stock black color 1,8 L or 2,7 liter aluminum tanks with Oxygen service modular valves at USD 525 / pair..
Two Submersible pressure gauges at USD 112 each.
One Wing (40 IB recommended) Price depending on model.

Bail out cylinder(s) and regulator(sscrubber mid section holds 4,25 kg Sofnolime 797 for up to 8 hours continuous dive time.
● OC/CC DSV – 950 USD or 550 USD if ordered with Pelagian DCCCR unit. Switch between high performance OC bailout and loop with out removing the mouth piece. This valve is the worlds most compact BOV and yet maintain one of the largest available internal bore for low work of breathing. Choose between divers left or right side connection of LP hose.) as needed to suit dive plan. Price depending on capacity and model of regulator.
