What modifications to a rebreather are considered acceptable to BSAC?
With the growing range of independently produced modifications for rebreathers and the different combinations in which they can be applied to rebreathers, it is impossible for the BSAC to evaluate these possibilities. BSAC recognises however that some members will wish to adapt their rebreathers to suit the nature of their own particular diving. As with open circuit equipment the implications of any modifications should be carefully thought through, particularly, as in the case of rebreathers, where they may have an impact on the breathing loop. Before applying any modifications to their rebreathers, divers should understand that any modification extends the equipment beyond the design parameters considered by the original manufacturer. Any subsequent modification is solely at the discretion and responsibility of the user who needs to satisfy them that the modification is not detrimental to the performance of the equipment. BSAC strongly advises divers who modify their rebreathers from
