Many people are surprised to learn that Rebreather Diving actually pre-dates open circuit SCUBA diving by many years.\u00a0As early as 1620 Cornelius Drebbel created a submarine with a crude rebreather system to allow the sub-mariner to stay submerged without being overcome by CO2. \u00a0The first more familiar application of what is more closely related to today's modern rebreather diving unit was introduced by diving engineer Henry Fleuss in 1870's. This far pre-dates the first modern demand valve scuba regulator by\u00a0Cousteau and Gagnan which was introduced in the 1940's.<\/p>\n

Simply put, a rebreather is a scuba device that recirculates your exhaled breath back to you so that you \"re-breathe\" your breathing gas again and again. \u00a0This system makes rebreathers extremely efficient with respect to gas usage and also provides for a silent (bubble free) diving experience. \u00a0While this is a simple explanation of what happens with rebreather diving, the details are a little more complicated, but here's a short (simplified) explanation.<\/p>\n
If we look at the list of above benefits, we can see that there are many benefits to diving a CCR versus Open Circuit Scuba.\u00a0 Diving with a rebreather leaves your dive site exactly how you discovered it.\u00a0 You don't even leave behind bubbles!<\/p>\n
One of the biggest benefits to diving a CCR vs Open Circuit is definitely for the technical mixed gas diver. If you're diving mixed gas, especially with helium, then you'll benefit immensely from the reduced gas consumption of the CCR.\u00a0 You can probably even recover the costs of purchasing your rebreather and the training in just a few years of diving CCR for mixed gas.<\/p>\n
Even if you aren't diving deeper or looking to stay longer, maybe you just want a more intimate experience with sea life and be able to get closer to fish and critters.\u00a0 When you're diving a rebreather, there aren't any noisy bubbles to scare the fish away.\u00a0 You'll be amazed at how much closer you can get to sea creatures, since they think you are one!<\/p>\n
To sum it all up, when you're diving with a rebreather, you can dive longer, use less gas, have no bubbles to, get closer to marine life, and even visit dive sites that aren't able to be visited by open circuit divers.<\/p>\n
Your first step into the rebreather diving is to get trained as a rebreather diver. \u00a0We offer training on several rebreather units through TDI. \u00a0Your qualifications will be recognized around the world.<\/p>\n
You'll be surprised to hear that there's no previous experience required to dive a rebreather versus other scuba systems. \u00a0You can take your first ever scuba diving class with a rebreather and become a \"Rebreather Open Water Diver\" and then continue your CCR training all the way through instructor if you desire.<\/p><\/div>\n
