About JJ-CCR
JJ-CCR Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR)
​
The JJ-CCR is a state-of-the-art closed circuit rebreather system designed for divers seeking extended, efficient, and silent underwater experiences. Known for its reliability, simplicity, and cutting-edge technology, the JJ-CCR is one of the most respected rebreathers on the market today, making it a popular choice among technical divers and professionals alike.
​
How the JJ-CCR Works
The closed circuit rebreather (CCR) technology allows divers to recycle and reuse the breathing gas instead of exhaling it into the environment as in open circuit systems. The JJ-CCR achieves this by using a sophisticated system that:
-
Filters out carbon dioxide through a scrubber, ensuring the air remains breathable.
-
Adds a precise amount of oxygen to the breathing loop, maintaining optimal gas levels for safe and efficient diving.
-
Monitors the partial pressure of oxygen (PPO2) using advanced electronics and sensors, giving divers complete control and real-time information.
This closed system reduces the amount of gas needed, making it highly efficient and ideal for longer, deeper, and more silent dives compared to traditional scuba systems.
​
Advantages of the JJ-CCR
-
Extended Dive Time: Thanks to the rebreather’s efficient use of gas, divers can explore underwater environments for much longer periods, making it perfect for deep and technical dives.
-
Silent Operation: By not releasing bubbles like traditional open circuit systems, the JJ-CCR provides a silent diving experience, which is crucial for getting closer to marine life without disturbing it.
-
Improved Efficiency and Safety: The JJ-CCR’s ability to constantly monitor and adjust the PPO2 levels ensures that the diver breathes the optimal gas mixture throughout the dive, reducing risks and enhancing safety.
-
Modular and Customizable Design: The JJ-CCR is built with a modular approach, allowing divers to adapt and configure the system based on their specific needs and dive objectives. This makes it a versatile option for both recreational and professional use.
Applications and Courses
The JJ-CCR is designed for divers who are serious about expanding their skills and exploring the full potential of rebreather technology. It’s suitable for:
-
Technical Diving: With its extended range and depth capabilities, the JJ-CCR is ideal for technical dives, including cave exploration and deep wreck diving.
-
Marine Photography and Videography: The silent operation of the JJ-CCR allows photographers and videographers to approach marine life without creating disturbance, making it a preferred choice for underwater professionals.
-
Recreational Exploration: For recreational divers looking to enhance their diving experience and increase their underwater time, the JJ-CCR provides a unique opportunity to dive deeper and stay longer.
