While a small amount (typically a tenth) of the exhaled breathing gas is released into the water, -a small amount of fresh gas is released from the back gas cylinder (typically containing nitrox). +a small amount of fresh gas is released from the back gas cylinder. A diver using a single cylinder of breathing gas can therefore dive for much longer periods than using a recreational open-circuit configuration. With pSCR equipment, a very small amount of breathing gas is released every time the diver inhales. With active SCR (aSCR) equipment, in contrast, a small amount of |
