Today marks a major milestone in the history of rebreather diving. After months of extensive work with the DEKRA team, the long-awaited CE approval of SIDEWINDER 2 has officially become a reality.
Certification was only the final step of a long and exceptionally complex project, encompassing not only the design phase but also the implementation of a set of sophisticated technologies, each of which alone would have been a demanding task. We are even more pleased that SIDEWINDER 2 required no design changes to meet the requirements. Although the evaluation process took much longer than initially expected, every test was completed smoothly on the first attempt.
SIDEWINDER 2 is not just another rebreather on the market. With its unique modularity, outstanding cold-water capabilities, exceptional scrubber endurance time, and ruggedness, combined with ease of diving and the signature KISS simplicity, SIDEWINDER 2 will become for CCR diving what XDEEP STEALTH 2.0 is for sidemount: a system that sets a completely new standard and becomes a reference point for all other units.
Come and visit us at boot Düsseldorf - hall 11 / K23, where you will not only be able to see SIDEWINDER 2, but also meet the people behind it.
