Closed Circuit Rebreather Try Dive

Try a rebreather dive and take your diving to the next level. This program is your gateway to understanding the basics of rebreather diving, offering either confined water and optional open water experiences. Rebreather diving offers a unique diving experience, distinct from traditional open-circuit diving. Rebreathers are efficient in gas usage, allowing for longer bottom times and reduced decompression obligations. They provide a silent diving experience, which often results in closer encounters with marine life.

Key Details

The course is designed to acquaint you with rebreathers, focusing on essential skills like buoyancy control and basic drills in calm/confined water. You'll get to swim with a closed-circuit rebreather unit (CCR), learning about its operation and manual overrides, while monitoring the system effectively.

Location

The course takes place at various suitable dive sites across East England, and inland sites like Stoney Cove. We also do the CCR Try Dives in swimming pools in multiple locations.

Prerequisites

A premier dive centre, offering an exceptional learning experience for divers, especiallty those interested in advanced and technical diving. The centre's foundation is rooted in the experience and passion of its founder, Scott, who began diving at just 10 years old. His journey took him from his first dive in the Caribbean to the rich waters of Scotland and, eventually, to Norfolk in England. Scott's expertise was shaped by his extensive training with the British Sub-Aqua Club (BSAC). His diving interests evolved over the years, delving into technical diving in 2001 and earning Technical Instructor qualifications with PSAI. A particular enthusiast of Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR) diving since 2011, Scott brings this advanced knowledge to his students. Clare, Scott’s partner, equally shares a passion for diving. She is currently exploring extended-range diving, with a keen interest in Mexico's caverns and the seals of the Farne Islands. As a qualified British Divers Marine Mammal Medic, Clare also contributes to marine conservation, particularly in rescuing seals along the Norfolk coast. The combination of Scott and Clare’s expertise, enthusiasm, and commitment to marine conservation offers a unique and enriching learning environment for all divers.
