How expensive are rebreathers to purchase and maintain?
Rebreathers cover a range of prices. From a low of just under $3000.00 USD to over $20,000.00 USD. The standard model of the CCR 2000 is $15,000.00 USD. Maintenance is perhaps a little more intensive than open circuit gear on most units. You are after all connecting an airspace to your lungs which you would probably like to keep clean! There are, of course, other maintenance issues that vary from unit to unit. Generally speaking, the fully-closed units require more maintenance and are more costly to maintain.
