Rebreather CO2 Absorbent


The Molecular Products Sofnolime and Micropore ExtendAir carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbents we sell are ONLY for use in sport and technical diving semi-closed and closed circuit rebreather systems. Because there are a great many types and formulations of carbon dioxide absorbent, it is critical to use only the specific CO2 absorbent recommended by the manufacturer of your specific model rebreather.

We are proud of the quality of our customer service, but we will NOT offer advice on CO2 absorbent selection or use other than what you find published here. If you are uncertain as to what product to purchase, we strongly recommend you seek formal training for your specific model rebreather. We do not sell CO2 absorbent for any purpose other than diving.

It is critical to follow the specific absorbent use recommendations of your rebreather manufacturer for your specific model. Use of the improper product can cause problems such as excessive work of breathing or shortened scrubber times. Recommendations from some rebreather manufacturers are:

Albert Shipwreck History — Built in 1864

The Albert was a three-masted wooden schooner, built in 1864, in Footscray, Victoria, on a length of 62.1 ft (19 m), a beam of 17.8 ft (5.43 m), and a draught of 5.4 ft (1.65 m).

Albert Sinking — 27 March 1874

On 27 March 1874, while on a voyage from Melbourne To Gippsland Lakes the schooner Albert ran onto a bank in west channel at the entrance to the Gippsland Lakes. Attempts were made to lighten the Albert, but it capsized and broke the mast. The vessel was eventually righted, but went to pieces shortly after. The shifting sand banks of the original entrance to the Gippsland Lakes often proved to be dangerous to shipping.

DISCLAIMER: No claim is made by The Scuba Doctor as to the accuracy of the dive site coordinates listed here. Should anyone decide to use these GPS marks to locate and dive on a site, they do so entirely at their own risk. Always verify against other sources.

The marks come from numerous sources including commercial operators, independent dive clubs, reference works, and active divers. Some are known to be accurate, while others may not be. Some GPS marks may even have come from maps using the AGD66 datum, and thus may need be converted to the WGS84 datum. To distinguish between the possible accuracy of the dive site marks, we've tried to give each mark a source of GPS, Google Earth, or unknown.
