Hollis Prism 2 CCR Rebreather Review

The Hollis Prism 2 is a pretty sleek-looking unit, and it has got some serious technical chops to boot. Plus there are a few options for divers, such as choosing between electronic or manual control options and back-mount or front-mount counter lungs. Explore open seas, caves, or wrecks with ease.

Tested by ANSTI at 100 meters, the Prism 2 had the lowest work of breathing of any mixed gas CCR unit. Tanks and valves will need to be purchased separately.

Things we like:

  • Highly customizable, plenty of different options for add-ons, configurations, and dive styles
  • Rear-mounted radial scrubber
  • Excellent work of breathing
  • CE approved
  • Hollis has an excellent reputation for after-sales support

Things we don't like:

  • One of the finickiest scrubbers to pack in the industry
  • BOV is sensitive to freeflow on the surface
