Halcyon Dive Systems has announced that the company’s Symbios Chest Mount Rebreather will expand global availability by mid-March.
The Symbios CCR has been available only in limited release during the development of an instructional platform and larger-scale production, the company said. During this period, the system was placed with select instructors, explorers and early adopters to support structured training development, field validation and real-world operational feedback.
With deliveries increasing in mid-March, the Symbios CCR will now be produced at full production capacity, according to Halcyon.
The Symbios rebreather’s key features include:
? Hybrid oxygen measurement, combining galvanic and solid-state digital sensors
? Patented, chest-mounted ADV/BOV regulator allowing quick access to open circuit while maintaining a small, lightweight mouthpiece
? Wireless communication with Symbios handsets and HUDs
? Fully integrated bailout architecture
? Axial scrubber with a large cross-section and short bed length, providing strong performance and very low work of breathing
Weighing approximately 7.5 kg/15.4 lbs in travel configuration and under 11 kg/24.3 lbs fully assembled and ready to dive, the unit was designed to support portability while maintaining exceptional capability, according to the company.
Additionally, the Halcyon Symbios mobile app serves as a central interface within the ecosystem. Divers can configure system settings, manage gas profiles, access integrated checklists and review detailed dive logs via the app. Designed as a seamless extension of the Symbios Rebreather, handset and HUD computers, the mobile interface marries system management and dive data in a single platform.
Training support for the Symbios platform continues to expand, according to the company.
Instructor programs are already active through IANTD, TDI and GUE. Programs with SSI and PADI are currently in development, reflecting engagement across major training organizations.
The transition from limited to wide availability reflects a deliberate approach to introducing this CCR platform, Halcyon said.
