Yes, you can definitely spend your entire weekend at a dive show and still have a lot of fun! This is exactly what I did last weekend in Birmingham, UK, for the 2016 edition of the DIVE show. Not only I got to talk with incredible people, discover new destinations to inspire your next dream scuba diving holiday or adventure, but I also tried\u00a0shiny scuba toys including a rebreather in one of the two pools of the show.

If you\u2019re unfamiliar with what a rebreather is, contrary to your standard scuba tank and regulator which can be called an \u201copen circuit\u201d because you get rid of the air you just breathed in, the rebreather is called \u2018closed circuit\u201d because you keep breathing the same air. \u201cHow is it even possible?\u201d Thanks to a genius system of a cannister filled with soda lime which absorbs the carbon dioxide and a tank of pure dioxygen that replenishes the air, you can breathe in and out the same air!<\/p>\n

When I discovered that Midlands Rebreather Diving<\/a> was offering free try dives with AP diving CCRs (Closed Circuit Rebreather) at the DIVE2016 show, I immediately jumped on the occasion. [continue reading<\/a>]<\/p>\n
