CCR Diver — Closed-Circuit Rebreather

Learn to plan and conduct unit-specific closed-circuit rebreather dives using air or nitrox diluent within no-decompression limits. Training with a Technical Instructor covers assembly, pre-dive checks, oxygen monitoring, loop management, scrubber care, bailout planning and post-dive procedures. You will practice responses to oxygen-control problems, flooding, equipment failures and other rebreather emergencies. The course requires at least seven open-water dives with a minimum of ten hours of cumulative bottom time. Training remains shallower than 100 feet, with a maximum oxygen partial pressure of 1.4 ATA. Prerequisites are Nitrox certification or equivalent, at least 50 logged dives including 20 on nitrox, and a minimum age of 18.

Prerequisites: EANx/Nitrox or equivalent; 50 logged dives including 20 EANx dives. Minimum age: 18.

This course is performance-based, not attendance-based.

If additional dive days are needed to meet the standards, they're billed at $300 per day of diving.
