Looks like an awesome fist CCR that will fit my dive applications perfectly! Can't wait to see more as the Sidewinder 2 comes online and divers start to get their hands on the unit. Looking amazing so far! Cheers, #SeattleRingHunter
TAKE MY MONEY! Any chance one of these might show up at the Meetup in Bonaire? Seriously though, this is an AMAZING piece of engineering. It looks like it will fill most every niche of diving. I will need to find out when and where to put a deposit down on this here piece of engineering artistry.
They clearly built it with CE certification in mind with the side-benefits of being able to go deeper and run longer. Assuming it meets expectations, it's going to be the new gold standard rebreather. Literally the do-it-all rebreather. Want to spend half a day pushing a tight, deep cave? No problem, sidemount it and go! Want to hop off a boat for some casual lionfish annihilation? No problem, strap it on a backplate with an AL80 and go at it! Wreck diving? No problem. Really curious to see the WOB numbers compared to the Meg. If they can match the Meg... this will be *the rebreather* to do it all. Oh... and now I want to know if you can mount two of them, one backmount and one sidemount :D
At least two reasons I can think of. Work of breathing would go up significantly. There are no materials that can allow significant airflow and prevent water intrusion without also require much higher pressure across the membrane. If the water impermeable membrane did get covered in water it could completely block airflow. Would you rather have some wet sorb, or have your rebreather stop allowing airflow?
@Navy1977 not trying to be a dick bro but I'm the one in the video with Patrick and Woody, and from what Mike has personally told me is that he isn't building the sw2 or components in Arkansas ...

Finally a good video about the Sidewinder 2.0 but but I want to see it in sidemount setup ...
Rebreathers in and of themselves are cool technology in general. This is a whole new level of cool. I really like the utility of the system!
Sw2 seems so amazing I want one so bad ): water proof and you can single tank it on the back that’s awesome! Such a genius!
Looks beautifully built
Really curious on the versatility going between back and sidemount

Great design!
Wow what a piece of kit
Wow. Thanks Woody For Sharing 💓
Thank you woody!

Are we there yet Patrick?
So Woody, are you going to be listing a used Kiss Sidewinder with pink accessories sometime this summer???? 😂
Well. ❤
Can it do back mounted doubles?
Haha wow totally amazing
With all the free advertisement you give them. I sure hope they sponsor you guys with two rigs.
Is this a rebreather?
How can I get trained on this ? Already CCR certified mod 1
There will be instructors that can teach on the unit including doing crossover training from other units if applicable.
Why can't a design prevent water from ever contacting sorb with a water impermeable layer like he mentioned with goretex or other?

future dive talk reacts is gonna be someone forgetting to reopen the breathing channel...

They manufacture all parts in their little workshop or they buy some from other companies?
Sw2 is being produced in Europe

Hollis blew their chance
@Navy1977 they had the chance of buying the SW brand but xDeep got it
almost 8 pounds of sorb and you are only getting about 4 hours duration ? Also can you reveal the actual ansi wob results !
Hmm good point!
Nice design. A little creepy watching the really old guy kiss the rebreather 😱
