my Pelagian mCCR (manual CCR), I decided to look at new options. It was time to spice things up a bit and try a few other rebreathers to see how they compared. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, I still think the Pelagian CCR is an absolutely stonking unit. I&#8217;ve never before felt the need to change to a competitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But CCR design evolves. New, lighter-weight, units start ticking similar boxes that originally steered me toward the Pelagian. I decided to open up our relationship so to speak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"scuba-b4-h2-2\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;\" id=\"scuba-9276364\"><div class=\"scuba-adlabel\">Sponsored Link<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9354033900485448\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9354033900485448\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"2393012471\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"false\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CCR-Unit-Requirements\"><\/span>CCR Unit Requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1-Travel-Friendly-CCR\"><\/span>1.

I travel all over the world to dive (mostly CCR) so packing weight is an essential consideration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, that requirement immediately ruled out most production units. However, this has changed in the past few years with some new CCRs boasting single-digit (kg) packing weights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Traveling with a Rebreather\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HuJXNMQyNyQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-CCR-for-Technical-and-Wreck-Diving\"><\/span>2.

It requires some fiddling and getting used to, but luckily I had time on my side to adjust it until I got it right. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As this is the only one of the bunch that routes the loop hoses under your armpit you have to learn to &#8220;<em>tame the snake<\/em>&#8220;, as my friend and fellow Liberty diver <a href=\"https:\/\/scubaseekers.com\/sameh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sameh Sokar<\/a> put it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is, you have to twist and bind the loop hoses until they form and maintain the right shape for your torso. This is great example of how a subtle, expert, adjustment can make a world of difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loop weights are recommended for making unit removal and pushing in front easier. Otherwise, the buoyant loop wants to fly out of your mouth the moment it&#8217;s no longer restrained by your armpit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst a diver is in <a href=\"https:\/\/scubatechphilippines.com\/scuba_blog\/scuba-diving-techniques-hover\/\">horizontal trim<\/a>, the Liberty has potentially amazing work of breathing. However, I found it very unforgiving when out-of-trim or diving in a current. The rebreather work of breathing went from zero effort to near-impossible to breathe with a slight incline of the scrubber can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would predict that a vertical trim descent, such as descending into an engine room from the top through a narrow conduit, being challenging, but my guess was that practice would mitigate this to some extent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Liberty-eCCR-Buoyancy\"><\/span>Liberty eCCR Buoyancy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Liberty CCR is marketed as &#8220;<em>neutrally buoyant<\/em>&#8220;. This is only partly true; because as you inhale\/exhale the gas moves from the unit&#8217;s counterlungs into the diver&#8217;s lungs the unit will naturally go from negative to positive. This has the effect of changing your trim with your breathing rhythm and making you bob sideways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This effect takes some getting used to. The larger the diver, the less noticeable the effect will be. It also helps to add a lead weight to the bottom of the Liberty&#8217;s titanium plate to prevent it from getting positively buoyant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wreck-Penetration-with-the-Liberty-CCR\"><\/span>Wreck Penetration with the Liberty CCR<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the purpose of fitting through the tightest restriction, it was the best of the bunch because it can be swung forward torpedo-style. This is much like using a regular sidemount tank while still breathing from it; because the diluent cylinder is on-board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would probably have preferred an encased design for the counterlungs for better protection from abrasion and puncture risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only ways in which I could fault it are the overly fiddly bayonet fittings, which I found hard to operate. Especially connecting the exhale counter-lung to the head. The fittings are easily jammed with sand or silt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the cell tray design has no way to remove condensation from the hydrophobic membrane of the sensors mid-dive. This becomes an issue on long or repetitive dives without drying the head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m personally not too bothered about the second solenoid (or any solenoid at all for that matter) and would happily trade them for a smaller and lighter head, but I do appreciate the concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.divesoft.com\/en\/products\/bovdsvadv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DSV MAV<\/a> (<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.divesoft.com\/en\/products\/bovdsvadv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Diver Supply Valve \/ Manual Addition Valve<\/a><\/em>)&nbsp;design is absolutely brilliant. However, the ODA (<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.divesoft.com\/en\/products\/optical-display-adapters\/oda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Optical Display Adapter<\/a><\/em>) is kind of &#8220;meh&#8221; as it is merely a non-configurable display. It cannot be used to control the CCR, like a Shearwater NERD has been capable of doing for over a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all the Liberty eCCR is probably the most advanced (<em>or over-engineered, depending on how you look at it<\/em>) unit currently on the market. I really enjoyed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Testing-the-KISS-Sidewinder-mCCR-Mk1\"><\/span>Testing the KISS Sidewinder mCCR Mk1<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I was excited about trying the KISS Sidewinder as it enjoys a fervently loyal fan base; who are happy to accept its flaws and limitations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also really liked the idea of low packing weight for travel and the simplicity of an mCCR (manual closed circuit rebreather). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Kiss Sidewinder In Action\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DMBKsbUXAnk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sidewinder-CCR-%E2%80%93-Ease-of-DonDoff\"><\/span>Sidewinder CCR &#8211; Ease of Don\/Doff<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The permanently attached scrubber canisters and having to connect the offboard diluent cylinder put it at the bottom of the bunch in the ease of donning\/doffing category. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the scrubber canisters are not that bulky.

Those with longer arms may have better luck, but I was a good 4&#8243; too short (and I understand this leaves me open to all manners of jokes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was partly mitigated by swapping the blanking plug and dump valve on the wing. I could now at least dump gas by rolling sidewise; albeit in a manner akin to Mel Gibson escaping from a straight jacket in Lethal Weapon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sidewinder-CCR-for-Restrictions-and-Confined-Spaces\"><\/span>Sidewinder CCR for Restrictions and Confined Spaces<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another consideration is footprint.

Groundbreaking and effortless, but beta nevertheless. However, I do have high hopes for the Sidewinder Mk2 version, as the engineering is reportedly much improved and the base concept remains brilliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"scuba-b4-h2-3\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;\" id=\"scuba-2919553596\"><div class=\"scuba-adlabel\">Sponsored Link<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9354033900485448\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9354033900485448\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"6151212517\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"false\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Testing-the-Triton-mCCR\"><\/span>Testing the Triton mCCR<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Triton CCR looked very promising from the start: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tthe lightest of the lot<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Super simple and lightening-fast to assemble<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Good build quality<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easy to remove in-water. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What more could I want?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also a relatively inexpensive unit to buy, I&#8217;ve seen some barely used ones go for \u20ac4500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The assembly was so fast and simple that I almost can&#8217;t remember it.

I do think it&#8217;s a unit that takes a little more time and fiddling to get just right than a quick try dive affords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there is no verdict on this one, but I&#8217;ll report back once I&#8217;ve had a chance to spend an adequate amount of time on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So-which-CCR-did-I-end-up-buying\"><\/span>So which CCR did I end up buying?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s probably easy to guess &#8211; the Liberty Sidemount CCR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ability to treat the Liberty like a sidemount tank &#8211; clip on, stick the DSV (<em>Diver Supply Valve<\/em>) in my mouth and go diving &#8211; is too seductive to pass, all other things being equal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then add in effortless work of breathing, the ability to fully remove and push in front, and the convenience of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.divesoft.com\/en\/products\/bovdsvadv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MAV<\/a>s, the Liberty CCR in sidemount configuration comes well ahead of the others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes it is heavier &#8211; <em>a lot heavier<\/em> &#8211; for travel, but in the water the Liberty is actually more streamlined as all your gases are onboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is the Liberty CCR perfect? Absolutely not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It could be smaller and lighter. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is not modular enough; if you swap from CCR to open circuit you can&#8217;t take the dive computers off. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The sensor holder is a poor design<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They reinvented the wheel with those over-engineered fittings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It has way more components than I would like; more failure points that can break and consequentially need repairing at no small cost. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>But it ticks enough boxes for me to want to use it for the wreck penetration diving I enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus &#8211; and this is a big plus for me &#8211; Liberty actually listen to their user base and constantly provide new updates and improved parts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, the design of the MAV internals was changed. Pre-2022 units had an o-ring that was prone to shredding and cause O2 to leak into the loop, as mine did. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To fix this, Liberty published an array of freely downloadable .stl files to print accessories; including a redesigned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.divesoft.com\/en\/products\/optical-display-adapters\/oda\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Optical Display Adapter<\/a> (ODA) mount as users complained about the original one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, who knows what newer and better hose-wielding devilry will come out next year&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Moving-Forward-as-a-CCR-Diver\"><\/span>Moving Forward as a CCR Diver<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For now, I&#8217;m enjoying getting acquainted with my Liberty, discovering subtle new nuances every time I dive it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The visual display, which although very different from a Shearwater, offers more customization and different features. My favorite features are the TTS screen, ludicrously long scrubber duration, and learning to live with a solenoid (or two) &#8211; although my first instinct is still to dive it manually!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have tested the scrubber to breakthrough; spending hours just below the surface in a pool; far beyond Liberty&#8217;s &#8220;suggested&#8221; scrubber duration. I eventually gave up after 11 hours&#8230; and the CCR was still breathing fine! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"scuba-b4-h2-4\" style=\"margin-top: 10px;margin-bottom: 10px;\" id=\"scuba-2167639272\"><div class=\"scuba-adlabel\">Sponsored Link<\/div><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9354033900485448\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9354033900485448\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"2954736365\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"false\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About-the-Author\"><\/span>About the Author<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/scubatechphilippines.com\/scuba_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Yen-Gills-3.jpg\" alt=\"CCR Review: Testing the Liberty Sidemount, KISS Sidewinder &amp; Triton by Lu &quot;Yen&quot; Rispoli.\" class=\"wp-image-26224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scubatechphilippines.com\/scuba_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Yen-Gills-3.jpg 738w, https:\/\/scubatechphilippines.com\/scuba_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Yen-Gills-3-231x300.jpg 231w, https:\/\/scubatechphilippines.com\/scuba_blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Yen-Gills-3-115x150.jpg 115w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/yen.dm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lu &#8220;Yen&#8221; Rispoli<\/a> is a Technical Sidemount, Wreck, Trimix &amp; CCR diver based between the UK and Bali with over 2000 decompression dives on 5 continents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yen blew his first bubbles in a pool in London nearly 20 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same month he left his apartment, sold most of his possessions, and moved to South East Asia to pursue a professional diving career. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>His current diving configuration of choice is the Liberty Sidemount CCR and a DPV scooter; and his favorite dive destination is <a href=\"https:\/\/scubatechphilippines.com\/scuba_blog\/iconic-technical-wrecks-diving\/\">Chuuk Lagoon<\/a>, where he spends a month each year fueling his <a href=\"https:\/\/scubatechphilippines.com\/scuba_blog\/advanced_wreck_diving_techniques\/\">wreck diving<\/a> addiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rebreather-Diving-FAQs\"><\/span>Rebreather Diving FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1709017570107\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What does CCR stand for?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">CCR stands for Closed Circuit Rebreather.
