RAID

What is RAID?

RAID (the Rebreather Association of International Divers) is an international scuba training agency founded to support rebreather education and now offering recreational open-circuit courses, technical programmes, freediving and instructor pathways. Academic material is delivered digitally through RAID's online platform before in-water training with a RAID dive centre.

RAID certifications cover try dives and Open Water through to decompression, sidemount and sport closed-circuit rebreather (CCR) ratings. Standards are performance-based; centres may teach with backplate and wing kit earlier than some other agencies. Cards are recognised internationally through RAID's training council memberships.

Choosing a course

RAID recreational courses suit divers who want structured digital theory and consistent in-water skills coaching. Technical and CCR programmes need the correct prerequisites, logged experience and often unit-specific training. Leave a comment when you book with your current RAID or crossover cards and the rebreather model if relevant.

Compare centre kit policies: some teach sidemount or wing and backplate from early courses, which affects what you need to buy or rent. Boat logistics, gas and sorb costs dominate technical and CCR pricing, so confirm what the listing fee covers.
