Abstract: A system for separation of gas from liquid disposed in a liquid source. The system comprising a liquid conveyance unit, a separation tank, a bubbler and a compressor. The liquid conveyance unit is adapted to convey liquid from the liquid source to the separation tank. The system further comprises a supersaturation device adapted to provide conditions for supersaturation of liquid disposed therein. The bubbler is adapted to produce gas bubbles and inject them into liquid supersaturated by the supersaturation device. The separation tank is adapted to cause a pressure reduction on liquid and gas therein to separate the gas from the liquid.

Abstract: A self-contained open-circuit breathing apparatus for use within a body of water naturally containing dissolved air. The apparatus is adapted to provide breathable air to a diver. The apparatus comprises an inlet means for extracting a quantity of water from the body of water. It further comprises a separator for separating the dissolved air from the quantity of water, thereby obtaining the breathable air. The apparatus further comprises a first outlet means for expelling the separated water back into the body of water, and a second outlet means for removing the breathable air and supplying it for breathing. The air is supplied so as to enable all of it to be expelled back into the body of water after it has been breathed.
