Silent World is the largest and most experienced rebreather dealer in the Pacific Northwest. We are on the cutting edge of rebreather technology: Craig, our store owner, was the first (and for a long while only) instructor in the Pacific Northwest for the Evolution rebreather, and is currently the NW center for training and sales of the KISS line of rebreathers.

Silent World sells, maintains, and, in some instances, repairs the Inspiration closed-circuit rebreather, the Evolution closed-circuit rebreather, and the KISS closed circuit rebreather.

And, of course, we train divers to use these rebreathers. Silent World's training includes over 20 hours of practical academic training, hours of pool sessions, and at least 8 open water dives.

Why all the training? Our goal is to have you "over-learn" the basics so you are completely comfortable with your rebreather. We go over and above the minimum training standards required by the certifying authorities.

Wondering whether rebreathers are the next logical step for you? We've set up this guide to help you decide.

Benefits of Diving a Rebreather

Longer Bottom Time

Imagine diving for 60 minutes at 100 feet with no decompression time. Or 90 minutes at 65 feet. Or two hours or even four hours at shallower depths. Rebreathers reduce the nitrogen out of the air you breathe, reducing significantly your nitrogen load that leads to decompression diving, longer surface intervals, and, at worst, decompression sickness.

No Bubbles
Because your exhaled gas isn't released into the surrounding water, you make no bubbles. No noisy bubbles. No clouds of bubbles to get in your viewfinder while you snap a picture of that elusive splendid toad fish. In other words: no holding your breath while you wait for that drum fish to just stop spinning so you can take its picture.

Additional Warmth while Diving 

The air you breathe with a rebreather is warm and moist, rather than cold and dry on open circuit. This keeps you warmer throughout your dive (your body doesn't have to expend energy to heat the air you breathe) and prevents dry cotton mouth.

Less Weight to Carry Around
Because a rebreather replaces the standard scuba cylinder and BC, it is often much lighter than a typical open circuit setup.

Reliabilty

Silent World only offers rebreathers with a proven safety track record. We only offer rebreathers that are built by companies with excellent long-term reputations.

Fun!
You really can interact with more underwater critters because you're diving truly silent.
