Common Mistakes to Avoid When Obtaining the Rebreather
- Going in the wrong direction: When you get to a fork in the flooded tunnel, make sure you go left. The right road wastes time and resources by ending in a dead end.
- Underestimating how deep the water is: The rebreather lives in a big open space beneath. Before you dive down, make a waterskin or fill up any empty ones you have. You’ll need to stay underwater for a while.
- Ignoring how to control stamina: swimming quickly uses up stamina. Pace yourself and come up for air every so often to get your strength back before going down again.
- Not bringing enough making supplies: To get to the rebreather, you often need to make certain tools. Make sure you have the tools, like sticks, logs, and rope, you need to make any things you need along the way.

The rebreather currently can only be found in Cave 5 – Submerged Cave, near the southern entrance. It is found right before a water hole inside the cave. It is to the left as you approach the water hole. It is attached to a skeleton, and it is surrounded by some air canisters.
The media in the scrubber, not the amount of gas that is available, is the main barrier. In a normal rebreather setup, the oxygen supply could (theoretically) last for 12 to 16 hours, depending on how hard the diver works and a few other factors. Most scrubber media lasts for about six hours.
