Why The KISS Sidewinder 2 Took So Long and Why It Was Worth It!

Why The KISS Sidewinder 2 Took So Long and Why It Was Worth It!

The Sidewinder 2 is here — and the story behind it is wild.

In this episode brought to you by XDEEP, Patrick Widmann joins me to share the real journey behind the years-long development of the Sidewinder 2 rebreather. From design struggles, manufacturing setbacks and testing fails, to finally achieving CE approval in January 2026.

Please sit back and enjoy this behind-the-scenes look from inside the project, showcasing the incredible drive and ambition of the entire KISS rebreathers team that has brought us to this point.

Huge thanks to Patrick Widmann, KISS Training Director, for sharing some time from his busy schedule.
