Planet Scuba organises Rebreather Dives for Molecular Products Staff
Following the launch of SofnoDive 797 in 2008, Molecular Products have worked continuously to improve the manufacturing process of the single use canister. The product recall last year highlighted certain quality improvements to be made which have now been fully incorporated into the manufacturing process, resulting in an ultra safe, reliable canister for use in the Poseidon Cis Lunar MKVI Rebreather.
As the sole manufacturer of the fully portable, light weight canister, Molecular Products felt it was imperative to gain real-life experience of the product during use beneath the water. Employees from the Technical and Sales departments volunteered to take part in a ‘Try Dive’ evening organised through collaboration with Poseidon UK, Jack Ingle Technical Diving and Planet Scuba. The employees were keen to dive in and experience for themselves benefits such as low dust and good taste characteristics.
At a local swimming pool the group, who had varying diving experience, were trained on using the Poseidon MKVI Rebreather. Jack Ingle and Steve Manton guided the group through the fitting of the equipment and importantly how to change from open to closed circuit breathing before entering the water. The group were in agreement that the equipment was lighter and more comfortable to wear than expected. Adjusting the buoyancy was straightforward and the group were soon confidently roaming the depth of the pool.
The feedback from the group after their ‘Try Dive’ was extremely positive. Everyone commented on the ease of use of the rebreather and the low resistance the canister provides. ‘It was surprisingly easy to breathe and a very attractive option for divers of tomorrow’ David Baines, Group Sales and Marketing Director.
The group also highlighted the good taste characteristics of Sofnolime 797 and most were surprised how simple it was to switch between open and closed circuit which was particularly comforting for novices. ‘I found it easy to breathe and my original expectation of experiencing an unpleasant taste from the Sofnolime, was wrong, I didn’t find any difference from breathing fresh air!’ John Organ, Process Scientist.
