Is buoyancy on a rebreather tough? Or is it just different to what you're used to? Divetech's KISS rebreather instructor Tony Land breaks down what CCR buoyancy is all about.
Hi Bob, I do frequently as I'm shooting photographs. As you become more experienced on the rebreather, you are able to read the nuances of the loop pressure, and buoyancy becomes easier on it. For anyone shooting photos, I'd wait until you had a few hours under your belt before you began diving the rebreather with a camera,
@@DivetechLtdWestBay I have just completed my MOD1, having been diving OC for a long time, and clearly, I have developed some bad habits using lung volume for finite buoyancy control, particularly for photography fine adjustment. Are you suggesting that for your photography, you use the loop volume to fine time and your wing for more general target depths? I found out about the swimming thing to my costs, having nailed the target depth (or I thought I had) and did a whole dive seemingly in control, only to find when I stopped finning to deploy the SMB, I sank a couple of meters! I have a newfound respect you guys
Excellent video, Tony. But I constantly rine tune my depth to take photos, do photographers on rebreathers constantly change target depths?
