CCR Rebreather Diving Instructor

We have been on the forefront of technology, supporting, teaching and diving CCR rebreathers, since 2006. Rebreathers have enabled us to succeed at large-scale expeditions, exploration projects, filming and more. We are CCR Rebreather enthusiasts. Our in-house Instructor Trainers offer both open water and overhead environment CCR rebreather instructor training.  

There are two levels of rebreather diver for the open water: Sport (non-decompression) and Advanced (decompression). The Instructor is capable of teaching both levels only when they have PSAI Advanced Nitrox Instructor or equivalent qualification. The IQC will outline both levels of diving to the candidate but limit the candidate to the lower level until required qualification and experience is gained.
