Mike Young at KISS rebreathers is constantly looking to improve the functionality of the -simple- rebreather. Minimal complexity is key when taking rebreathers into inhospitable places and Mike has learned that the hard way and taken it to heart. The Sidewinder and Sidekick rebreathers are the sidemount answer to the classic KISS rebreather- simple to use, simple to maintain, and more likely to work after a sump than than a machine loaded up with bells and whistles. As Chrissy and I routinely break even the simplest gear while getting to and diving sumps, simplicity and reliability is key, and KISS rebreathers have what it takes.
