Hollis Prism 2 Rebreather: Scuba Shack CT Is Now an Authorized Dealer
Gear Reviews · New at Scuba Shack CT
Rebreathers used to be a niche corner of tech diving that most recreational shops never touched. That’s changed — and we’re proud to announce Scuba Shack CT is now an authorized dealer for the Hollis Prism 2, one of the most trusted closed-circuit rebreathers on the market.
What Makes the Prism 2 Different
Unlike open-circuit scuba, where every exhaled breath bubbles away and takes unused gas with it, the Prism 2 recycles your breathing gas — scrubbing out CO₂ and topping off oxygen as you use it. The payoff is significant: dramatically longer bottom times, no bubbles to spook marine life, and gas consumption that isn’t tied to your breathing rate or depth the way open-circuit is.
For divers who’ve hit the ceiling of what open-circuit tanks allow — longer wreck penetrations, extended photography time, quieter encounters with skittish marine life — a rebreather changes what’s possible on a single dive.
Why the Prism 2 Specifically
The Prism 2 has built a reputation for being one of the more approachable CCRs to train and dive on, with a fully redundant electronics package and a design that’s held up well across thousands of hours logged by recreational and technical divers alike. It’s a serious piece of equipment — but not an unreasonably complicated one to learn.
This Isn’t a Casual Purchase — and That’s the Point
A rebreather is a meaningful investment and a meaningful training commitment, and we treat it that way. As a dealer, we can walk you through unit selection, fit, and what training path makes sense for your goals — whether that’s extending your recreational dives or working toward technical certifications.
Curious But Not Sure It’s for You Yet?
That’s exactly what a demo day is for. Come see the unit in person, ask questions, and get a feel for it before making any decisions. Stop by the shop or reach out to get on the list for our next demo day.
Ready to go further? Rebreather certification runs through our technical arm, Kraken Diveworks — built specifically for divers who want to push past recreational limits.
What the Prism 2 Makes Possible
Three things open-circuit simply can’t deliver — and the Prism 2 makes standard.
Longer Bottom Time
Gas consumption isn’t tied to depth or breathing rate. Hours of diving on the same unit that an open-circuit diver would exhaust in an hour.
No Bubbles
Closed-circuit means no exhaust stream. Marine life that would scatter from open-circuit bubbles approaches and stays — a fundamentally different underwater experience.
Redundant Electronics
The Prism 2’s fully redundant electronics package gives it a safety architecture that’s earned the trust of thousands of hours of real-world diving.
