Introduction
The O2ptima is a fully closed mixed gas capable closed circuit rebreather. Unlike other products
both past and present, this design represents the collaboration of several manufacturers within
the diving and safety industries. Each company was able to bring their strengths to this product,
increasing safety and reliability. While many designs have needed to evolve over the years, the
O2ptima, at its release represented some of the best technology available.

products. Unlike many other companies which concentrate on a specific market, Dive Rite has
excelled in delivering products to the recreational diver while still being able to supply cutting-
edge equipment for even the most demanding diver.
