Dive into the world of Rebreathers

Why Rebreathers?

Why dive a rebreather?

Because, let’s face it—they’re undeniably cool! It’s the closest experience most of us will ever have to being an astronaut.

Rebreather diving opens up a world of new possibilities for divers, offering the opportunity to glide silently through the water, blending seamlessly with marine life. Whether you’re exploring vibrant reefs, intriguing wrecks, or fascinating underwater rock formations, a rebreather enhances every dive.

Extend Your Dive Time: Enjoy significantly longer dive durations compared to open-circuit systems.

Explore Quietly: Minimize noise and bubbles, allowing you to get closer to marine life without disturbing their natural behavior.

Dive Deeper: Safely reach greater depths with reduced decompression obligations.

Breathe Efficiently: Optimize gas usage, making every dive more efficient and cost-effective.

Ready to take your diving to the next level? Consider enrolling in CCR courses for comprehensive rebreather training, as a rebreather is your gateway to a whole new underwater adventure.

Our Courses

Why Rebreathers?

Our CCR courses are tailored to everyone, from beginners curious about trying rebreather diving for the first time to advanced divers seeking full trimix certification.

Each rebreather training course begins with a classroom session, where you’ll learn the fundamentals of rebreather diving. This is followed by a confined water session in a local pool, allowing you to get comfortable with the equipment while practicing buoyancy control and breathing techniques.

The real adventure begins with a series of open water dives from a local dive boat. You’ll explore the stunning wrecks along Florida’s coastline or the vibrant reef systems just offshore, putting your new skills into practice in some of the world’s best diving environments.

Our team consists of experienced instructors and knowledgeable staff who are passionate about diving. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all our customers.

Our courses are offered through multiple agencies such as SDI/TDI and IANTD.

Rebreather (CCR) Courses

40 Meter (introductory)

This is the second level certification course for divers wishing to engage in rebreather diving using a closed-circuit rebreather (CCR). The objective of this CCR course is to train divers on the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures for utilizing a CCR, while developing basic rebreather diving skills to a maximum depth of 40 Metres/130 Feet, using air or nitrox as diluent for formal decompression diving.

Prerequisites:

Minimum age 18.

Provide proof of 50 logged dives. If completing a unit crossover, at least 10 logged CCR dives in the last 12 months.

Provide proof of TDI Advanced Nitrox Diver and Deco Procedures Diver or equivalent from agencies recognized by TDI.

Provide proof of at least 5 logged staged decompression dives to a minimum depth of 30 metres/100 feet.

If the rebreather is a TDI approved Sidemount rebreather, the student must hold the TDI Sidemount Diver certification or equivalent, provide proof of 10 logged Sidemount dives, and any additional requirements the Sidemount rebreather manufacturer may have.

Minimum age 18.

TDI Air Diluent CCR Diver certified or equivalent.

Minimum of 30 hours and 30 dives on the CCR unit.

Six months CCR diving experience.

rEvo Crossover

The rEvo CCR Crossover course is designed to provide divers already certified on one unit with additional unit-specific training to become certified on another unit. This crossover applies to rebreathers of different brands and manufacturers.

60 Meter

40 Meter (introductory)

This is the intermediate level certification course for divers wishing to engage in rebreather diving using a closed-circuit rebreather (CCR) for mixed gas diving. The objective of the course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures for mixed gas diving on the unit-specific CCR, utilizing a mixed gas diluent containing 16 percent or greater oxygen. This course aims to develop intermediate CCR diving skills appropriate to technical diving, allowing divers to reach a maximum depth of 60 Metres/200 Feet.

Prerequisites:

Minimum age 18. Provide a verified log of a minimum of 50 rebreather hours distributed over at least 50 dives, including at least 25 dives and 25 hours on the specific rebreather unit, along with at least 10 rebreather dives to 30 metres/100 feet or deeper that require staged decompression. If completing a unit crossover, proof of at least 10 logged CCR dives in the last 12 months is necessary. Certification in a TDI Air Diluent Decompression Procedures Rebreather or TDI CCR Helitrox Diluent Decompression Procedures Diver course, or an equivalent course recognized by TDI, is also required.

Choptima Crossover

The rEvo CCR Crossover course is designed to provide divers already certified in rebreather training on one unit with additional unit-specific training to become certified on another unit. This crossover applies to rebreathers from different brands and manufacturers.

100 Meter

40 Meter (introductory)

100 Meter

This is the highest-level certification course for divers wishing to utilize the unit-specific closed-circuit rebreather (CCR) for advanced mixed gas diving. The objective of this CCR course is to train divers in the benefits, hazards, and proper procedures for advanced mixed gas diving on a CCR, while developing advanced rebreather diving skills suitable for technical diving to a maximum depth of 100 Metres/330 Feet (or shallower if mandated by local law).

**Prerequisites:**

- Minimum age of 18.

- Certified TDI CCR Mixed Gas Diluent diver, or equivalent from agencies recognized by TDI.

- Provide proof of a minimum of 100 rebreather hours over a minimum of 100 dives; a minimum of 50 hours and 50 dives must be on the unit-specific CCR. A minimum of 30 dives must be deeper than 30 Metres/100 Feet, and at least 10 logged mixed gas CCR dives, after mixed gas diver training, must be deeper than 50 metres/165 feet, requiring staged decompression.

**Disclaimer**

For introductory courses, all units must be purchased through certified instructors. Students will receive their unit on the first day of rebreather training.
