The Classic KISS is the original KISS rebreather. Most of the components for the Classic are
individually machined. As this is a time
consuming process, we are only able to make around 150 to 200 units a
year. We try to have them in stock at
all times, but this isn’t always possible.
If you are interested in purchasing a unit when we are sold out, we will
take your name and contact information and notify you when we have a unit
ready. No deposit is ever required.
This rebreather has NOT been tested by the US Navy, DCIEM or
any other organization, it is NOT CE approved and the only guarantee that it
comes with is that it is absolutely capable of killing you. You are buying a
set of components that you will have to assemble, test, and add your own tanks,
BC, sensors, and other components before it is usable. More than 140 people
have done this already with minimal difficulty.
Also, training is now a requirement for purchasing a KISS
rebreather. Currently there a number of training agencies which have a KISS-specific course. Please see Instruction, on the menu bar for a list of agencies.
The legal profession has a saying that "a man who acts
as his own counsel has a fool for a client". The same can be said about
learning to dive a rebreather on your own.
