All about the DiveTalk GO Rebreather! | BLUE WORLD EXTRA 

Can't wait to add this to my Florida Man rig which consists of dual back tanks, dual sidemount tanks and four regulators. Woo-hoo!! Of course, since I normally keep my PBR hydration bottle, which I converted from a pony bottle into a pony keg, (get it?), on my chest, I'll have to figure out something else, or I could just do what Bubba does and use an old Foley bag. 🤣😁👍😉👌🤙🤙🤙All funnin aside, thanks for the great demonstration and informative video. The GO looks like it's a go.

After recently being certified on the unit, I can agree that the Dive Talk GO is an absolute joy to dive! As Jonathan mentioned, it really does breathe phenomenally and setup/donning is super easy. My GO is coming along just about everywhere with me now! Highly recommend you try it out if you're curious about the unit.

That’s a good looking rig, thanks for making a video on it!

Nice to see you guys together again. Great explanation on the go. Keep the videos coming!

Really interesting video. Cool looking rig.

Very interesting. Thanks.

Great explanation. I want one. Makes perfect sense.

Wow! I love it! I want one! Great video!

Great video Birdman!

I honestly think that this is a very good effort to introduce a recreational CCR into the market. I am personally certified on a Poseidon seven CCR and I ONLY do recreational dive of it. And I have to say that I will never go back to OC from now on. I don’t see any problem that People who only does OC dives and want to get into CCR and only for recreational purposes.

Maybe one day this will be my first rebreather :)

Love all of the blue on your rig ❤

Being a mechanic over tightening will damage the threads, or possibly break the attaching fitting. Any damage may let the hose be released.

Pretty cool.

I heard about this when training with Edd. It was so cool to see the prototypes and now the full product! I hope I can test dive one at some point

Great review, is there a web site and pricing on these rebreathers?

Used it. Its perfect and amazing. Buy 2.

This. Would be a sick little deco stage

Hi Jonathan, I know you mentioned near the end of the video of using offboard diluent with a low pressure inflator hose. Would this strategy have to change for deeper more demanding dives and be converted to the QC6 connector? Thanks you for your thoughts!

Is this beauty already on the market? Can't find it anywhere ...

Blue 🌎!!!!!!!❤

I love 💙🌍!!!

Thank's for this video. As experienced JJ diver, I've 2 main remarks. The 3 cells coaxial wires seems to be very cheap and fragile in a so wet environment. Lots of APD divers are facing to problems with water that path through the electronic head via the wires by capillary action. The second remark is related to the lack of counter lungs protection. A hole in it could easily be made by simple friction against a pointed or sharp object. Do you know the cost of this non CE CCR ?

It is KISS rebreather for a reason unknown with Dive Talk branding. Is this giving more confidence in the technology and reliability/durability of the system? Not in my case. Looking forward to Kiss Sindwinder 2 comming and the total line revamp. As for chest rebs - i love my Triton and would take Choptima or any other reb like Sump UK, etc just not being advertised by Gus and Woody being pure publicity stunt.

JB marketing aside, i love your videos, energy, and narration :)

What's the price of the unit? can it be purchased in Europe and where could you get certified in Europe?

Lots of opinions in these comments... While it is not designed for technical diving it is still capable and has most of the same positive attributes as any rebreather and apparently a much lower price. The closest thing to it would be the Revo/Mares Horizon SCR which is much more expensive, a little more complex and less capable. Only advantage the Horizon has is not needing O2 (also a disadvantage). I'm in one of the few places the world where the Horizon makes any sense and I still haven't bothered. If you are looking to go down the technical diving or exploration path this wouldn't be a good investment IMO. Just go for the unit you need in the long term and do technical OC in the meantime. If you already have a rebreather and some spare cash this might also make sense as it's cheaper to run on recreational dives. Just pick the unit that works for your diving, you can find training for, is reliable and servicable, has a local community that you can team up with and learn from, you can afford... I think once you start taking a hollistic look at the unit it starts making more sense. If being smaller than most others, being cheaper in initial cost and being configured for recreational (plus) diving is not appealing then you simply need a different unit. I'd imagine if you're a reef diver like the majority of the recreational (and photography) market then this thing is the bees knees. You need to run your dives slightly differently to get an advantage but many half-decent operators can accommodate a sensible plan. Many will allow you to stay down during the surface interval where recreational divers change cylinders. One long dive is better than two short ones. You'll need a buddy as few operators allow solo diving but this could possibly be someone on a twinset/sidemount with Nitrox to get more bottom time.

I might have missed it, does anyone know the rated stack time?

It looks like a nice unit but considering that the new KISS Sidewinder 2 will have the ability to be used in a sidemount and back mounted configurations for boat and shore diving I would hold off on buying this rebreather.

Should be prorate compensated.

The future of open water diving?

Whats the price tag?

12 hours from a 3ltr o2 cylinder is a bit of a push

How much does this cost and who teaches it?

Finished my open water certification dives today. Rest assured im gonna dive like hell to make my way up to this thing. Thankfully, by the time i get to it, any remaining kinks will have been worked out :). But this is Mike Young we're talking about, so i imagine there wont be too many teething problems.

I think my first rebreather will be the go!

A bit unfortunate that in reality this unit, while "affordable" (around 3.5k I've heard) is quite weak, and actually will cost more like 4.8k since electronics are not included with the price (a sidewinder is only about 5.8k WITH a display included for comparison). Additionally, its biggest "competition" on paper would be other CM rebreathers like the M3S Triton or the Chop but in reality, this unit is just so much weaker its more comparable to a Mares Horizon in performance (which to be fair "recreational" diving is the intended use of this). I do hope it is successful, and if I had 5-6k just laying around I'd bite for a little unit like this for simpler dives (although there are likely enough people to know the Dive Talk channel to make it at least sell a bit for brand name if nothing else anyways), but I would not be too surprised if it meets a similar fate to all the other "recreational" rebreathers.

sweet unit but too many drawbacks & for the price you could get an rd1 rebreather -set up for full trimix for the same cost and you still have a tiny rebreather -one that capable of technical deep diving but perfect for the 30-100+ ft dives and the modular design is so cool you can set the rd1 up for chest mount or back mount the unit is sooooo lightweight and compact it’s perfect and it basically runs the exact same way as all kiss units

I struggle to see a niche market for this device. Recreational diving is done with recreational gear, as soon as you go near a rebreather you need technical training just to use it. Most rec divers don't care about 30 extra minutes, just do another dive from the boat after a snack. Never go near deco anyway. Plus, there are many reasons why a recreational diver would not need this device that extends beyond rebreather advantages. I.e. within an hour rec divers want to pee, get cold, want a beer, get bored... Not to mention if the DM is not using this then you are limited by his/her air anyway in typical rec dive charter situations. From the tec diver perspective, this is probably great because you are familiar with the setup and would love to have a smaller rebreather device. However, they probably already spent an arm and a leg on another rebreather and could just end up using that instead of paying a lot of money for a new device that is marginally smaller and having to pay for additional training. Don't get me wrong, I think it is a very cool innovative device, but I think the target market is not recreational divers. Unless it is universally adapted, people will stick to what is universally taught and used (OC), especially at dive centers (just thinking of traveling and needing an o-ring and stuff like that). What I think they should do is rebrand the device as a technical rebreather bailout. That way you dive with your normal rebreather and remove the cumbersome tanks for one of these strapped to your chest. I'd like that!

You don’t want to flood this rebreather

I’m not a rebreather diver but isn’t it a bit dangerous to do a dive past your scrubber time rating and just wait to see if you start to feel the effect of increased CO2? What if you don’t notice bc you are focused on your camera and the sharks? What if that happens while the DM is on the boat swapping tanks? Edit: I’m saying intentionally diving past your scrubber rating is dangerous, not that diving a rebreather is a dangerous way to dive Edit 2: 12:31 is the story I’m referring to

A rebreather with all the complexities and risks that come with a CCR for recreational divers who have not been properly trained for hypercapnia, hypoxia, and so on…will a recreational wall diver be able to handle the PO2 spike if they are caught on a downward current? This unit will kill recreational divers who watch RU-vid.

There are, of course, other front mount rebreathers and Sidemount rebreathers. The video insinuates that the front mount Go is unique. it's not. Also, you can configure a rebreather with off-board diluent/bail-out gas. Making rebreather diving "easy" without a clear understanding of how this all really works will cause a problem sooner or later.

Solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Or for the dozen CCR divers who just cannot fathom the thought of going back to OC for rec dives

Sounds alot like a knock-off of the Triton. mCCR = mechanical (not manual). The orifice is a mechanical method. All of them can be "manual"

I'm sorry. It has to be said that nothing about this is novel outside of the low price point. USN SEALs have been using small form factor CM rebreather forever. I think dive rite's CM rebreather has been around for over a decade. There are others but those are the first two little nuggets that came to mind.

Completely useless. No use case for a front mount rebreather. Just stupid unless you’re going to be underwater all day

lol lmfao seriously ?? Birdman come on mate lets be serious big bulky rebreather so we try to keep it simple and compact? you have a scuba unit on your back PLUS you add a chestmount ?? are we serious? but the bail out tank was the problem?? hahahahahahaha..

completely useless except in exceptional cases, e.g. photo-video, an instructor who sits underwater all day. Every normal nukek who develops and acquires new skills from time to time - a year or 2 after purchase, faces a wall of further development. A lot of junk, a lot of time to prepare, just as bad as Horizon Maresa for me.
