Oxygen rebreather

The world's lightest ventral oxygen rebreather. Compact, rugged, easy to use and easy to maintain, the Salamander is ideal for shallow dives while offering all the benefits of a rebreather: comfort, silence, endurance.

It is particularly suited to exploring remote environments and to underwater photography, but also to shore dives, kayak dives and river dives.
