Rebreathers used to be only for technical diving, but not any more. New Type R (recreational) rebreathers are lightweight, easy-to-transport and have sophisticated electronics to simplify their use. Why dive a rebreather? You get longer no stop limits, reduced gas consumption because you reuse most of your exhaled gas, and unmatched wildlife encounters because you don’t release annoying bubbles. 

Getting close to marine life – Rebreathers don’t create bubbles or noise, making you a natural part of the underwater environment.

• Exploring underwater – Rebreathers use gas efficiently, allowing you to stay underwater for several hours, so you can take your time and enjoy the little (and big) things!

• Diving in comfort – Rebreathers circulate warm, humid gas at ambient pressure, so it’s just like breathing above surface!

The latest rebreathers are lightweight, easy-transportable units that have sophisticated electronics to simplify their use. With the introduction of the PADI Rebreather Diver courses, rebreather diving training is now available for the PADI Open Water diver. 

Rebreathers allow longer no decompression limits, reduced gas consumption and unmatched wildlife encounters. Now anyone can become a Rebreather Diver.

The PADI Rebreather Diver course uses Type R units to introduce divers to rebreather diving within recreational dive limits. Type R rebreathers are electronically controlled and provide a back up for all the major systems and simplify training and use.

Prerequisites

The PADI Advanced Rebreather Diver Course expands on the basic knowledge you have already acquired from your Rebreather Instructor and provides training to a maximum of 30 metres/98 feet (40 metres/130 feet if you have a PADI Deep Diver certification), including carrying a bailout cylinder.

Now you too can join the elite who enjoy the quiet of diving with no bubbles, getting closer to marine life and enjoying longer dives with more no-deco time on the new Poseidon Recreational Rebreather. The latest technology takes all the complications and work out of rebreather diving and lets you get more fun and benefits out of rebreather diving.

Prerequisites

This helps particularly with logistics allowing us to combine both classroom sessions and both pool sessions. There are also a number of skills that are required for both courses. If the courses are being run separately then they need to be done for both courses. If the courses are combined then those skills need only be completed once. This also allows us to make better use of scrubber and O2 fills.
