Abstract

A closed circuit rebreather system with a modular, detachably affixable breathing bag assembly (10). An interchangeable base unit (12) is provided, preferably in backpack form, containing gas supply bottles (TN), regulation equipment (VN), and interconnecting hoses. A personalized closed circuit modular breathing bag assembly (10) is provided which can be customized for each diver and or for a particular mission, by changing tidal volume and/or gas scrubber (GN) charge size in the breathing bag. The modular breathing bag assembly (10), regardless of customizing, is reliably interchangeable with any one of a plurality of base units (12), via a commonly sized and configured base to breathing bag fastener system. Attachment to the base units with accompanying gas supply and regulation equipment is facilitated by quick connect gas connections, and modular electrical connections. By use of personal modular, breathing bag assemblies, divers avoid the necessity to re-use equipment, thus avoiding biological cross-contamination between subsequent users.
