Rebreather Forum 3 Online
In May 2012, experts from around the world gathered in Orlando, Fla., for Rebreather Forum 3.0. Their
goal was to examine the state of rebreather use and develop protocols and recommendations for improving
user safety. DAN, the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) and the American Academy of
Underwater Sciences (AAUS) organized the three-day forum with the support of dive-industry leaders.
Rebreather specialists, manufacturers, educators and scientists discussed the state of testing, training,
protocols and design toward the goal of establishing a consensus on the steps necessary to enhance
the safety of the sport. These in-depth presentations are now available on DAN’s YouTube channel,
“DiversAlertNetworkTV.”
