With regret we have to inform that our Itialian distributor Roberto Delaide has died on a rebreather dive.

 

"Three hours later at the police station we opened the reb. The canister was full and purple. Diluent bottles were empty and there were 60/70 bar of oxygen. We switched on his vitek computer running again his dreadful profile: after 13 minutes he was at 100 meters, after a while he reached 109 meters and in about 1'30" he surfaced.
He had a 10/70 tmx and a 80% nitrox bailout tanks full. Probably he had not the chance to use them.
We didn't extract the cartridge. We only saw from the top that it was flooded and purple but consider that he remained 40 minutes without the mouthpiece.
His wife and all his friends are shocked, she witnessed all the tragedy"
