Here you can see the Oxydrant directly before a test in Steinbruchsee Wildschütz at Leipzig (Germany) in November 2004. It' part of another league - it's primary made from stainless steel.

The Oxydrant could present its robustness and its utilisability in 25 missions with about 40 hours of dive. We made a category called 'Oxydrant' where more informations about the construction and development is presented. Critics or ideas are always welcome and can be posted in forum or send to the email found at 'The Crew'.

For well informed people: CMF SCR, SM SCR, KISS CCR und ECCR.

Furthermore the Oxydrant will always accomplish the option to work as a pure o2-rebreather. It has 2x7 liter, 230 bar Steelsupplybottles and will later be with fullface-mask, intercom, light and a suit-heater. The bottlesize is at the moment a real bailout shown with a second redundant loop. At the end of development it will reach a depth of 250m and can permit 4-8h divetime. It is specially made for the use in Euronaut, but can also be used autonomously.

At the moment it's in development status. A robust and compact architecture was the most important thinkabout while planning for the use in a submarine, which is not like normal dive use. The function of the Oxydrant is also still in development status. At the moment some deepdive-breather for workdives are tested and benchmarked.
