Introducing the Triton Rebreather:

A Comprehensive Dive into its Benefits

The Triton Rebreather, proudly produced by M3S, a reputable company based in France, is a game-changing innovation in the world of scuba diving. As a Chest-mounted Mechanically Controlled Closed Circuit Rebreather (MCCR), it has received CE ratings for depths of up to 100 meters when used with Trimix, making it the first of its kind to achieve such certification.

What sets the Triton Rebreather apart from other units on the market? Firstly, it boasts a remarkably compact and lightweight design. The unit weighs just 7 kg (15 lbs) when ready to fly (without tank or lime) and 12.5 kg (27 lbs) when ready to dive. It is one of the smallest commercially produced Closed Circuit Rebreathers available on the market today. Traveling with it becomes a breeze due to its portability and ease of handling.

Design Features:

The unit’s engineering also focuses on user-friendliness and flexibility. The connections are made using POM-C or Acetal, an extremely strong and durable engineered plastic. They are color-coded and work with a click-lock system, virtually eliminating the possibility of incorrect connections. This ensures a seamless diving experience and enhances safety.

The Triton Rebreather comprises a Kevlar bag containing the 2 breathing lungs, a 2.1 kg scrubber canister. It has a removable chamber with 3 Oxygen cells connected to the Monox (oxygen monitor) and HUD. Additionally, it allows divers to integrate either a Hardwired Shearwater Petrel3 or a NERD as per their preference.

They offer a range of colors of the Kevlar bags and comes standard with breathing hoses that are made of blue transparent silicone with an antibacterial treatment -or as a special edition with dark breathing hoses. The hose connections are ingeniously designed with a clip system and different connector sizings, ensuring foolproof assembly.

The breathing hoses are made of blue transparent silicone with an antibacterial treatment. You can choose between a 1,5L Alu or a 2,5L steel oxygen cylinder which is conveniently fixed under the Kevlar bag.

Versatility:

One of the Triton Rebreather’s remarkable features is its versatility in configuration options. Divers can combine it with various setups, such as single tank backmount, twinset, or sidemount configuration. The Triton can also be used as either the primary or bail-out CCR when combined with another Closed Circuit Rebreather.

The adaptability and size of the Triton make it an excellent choice for diverse types of dives. Whether you’re exploring restricted areas in caves or wrecks, where larger units may struggle, or venturing into extreme depths, the Triton stands as a natural choice for divers seeking exploration beyond the ordinary.

Triton 2.0

In the end of 2024 M3S released the updated version of the Triton MCCR. On the Triton 2.0, they upgraded multiple key parts of the unit to improve ease of use and options.

NGC (New Generation Computer):The NGC is Tritons new controller system. Replacing the Monox, the NGC will in the future be software upgradable to a full Rebreather Computer. It contains all checklists, device and dive log information, as you would know it from fully Automatic Rebreather Systems. It is powered by 2 18650 batteries that can act as redundancy for each other and is user rechargeable/changeable.

HUD: New HUD design that has both Buddy display and new warning lights for NGC warnings like battery, scrubber and cell inconsistencies.

System Unit (Head/Cell retainer): Updated design of the Cell retainer to a plug-in format, to avoid problems with Molex wirering. Retainer clamp is also redesigned for ease of use and better control of the moisture pad. The Unit now contains pressure sensors -used for calibration and Positive/Negative pressure tests.

Options for sensor calibration (now needed on daily basis) is an optional calibration tool or to use air.

Scrubber: New design of the Scrubber canister include both an easier opening and closing of the lid -and a choice of a bigger scrubber (3KG)

Certification Options:

A crossover certification for the Triton Rebreather is accessible for existing CCR divers. The 3-day crossover program covers unit familiarization, confined water workshops, and open water dives, with a focus on mastering the unique skills and drills associated with this rebreather.

The standard 5 day course is also available through Tech Dive Asia under multiple training agencies
