TR 300 rebreather

Back to BOOT 2005 index

Holger Berghäuser presented his TR300 rebreather. The shown unit is a prototype. It is a promising development since Holger's goal is to build a rebreather for a larger public. The unit looks like a pssive addition rebreather but is in fact a normal SCR. There is a certain modular construction since the unit can be reconfigured to a CMF closed circuit rebreather. The unit has actually been tested and is in a preproduction phase. The most impressive factor is the price. Goal is to sell the unit for 1000,- euro. That would certainly offer big possibilities for rebreather diving. If you want extra information visit Holger's webpages: http://www.hb-best.de
There is an English version with details here: http://www.tr300.de/divetube.html

This picture gives an idea about the size of the unit compared to a 7 liter steel cylinder.
 

The Counterlungs of the SCR are integrated. There is NO second bellow inside.

The unit is prepared to be conected to a VR 3. Connecting more cells is possible!

I hope Holger will further improve his design and realize his goal. It would mean a step forward in the rebreather world.
