Rebreather Cross-Over Course
Expand your knowledge to new units.
General Information
If you are a certified rebreather diver on one manufacturer's or brand's unit and want to switch to a different type of CCR, this rebreather crossover course is designed just for you. You'll simply get familiar with how these units work and learn how they are similar to, and different from, your current rebreather.
eCCR / mCCR
We offer courses focused on eCCR and mCCR rebreathers in backmount and sidemount configuration. We tailor the course content and setup to the specific type of unit and the diver's level.
Rebreathers we have experience with include, for example, Submatix Quantum CCR, AP Inspiration and AP Evolution CCR, Poseidon SE7EN+, SF2, Flex CCR, X-CCR, JJ-CCR, Liberty CCR, Revo CCR, T-REB CCR, Triton CCR.
Availability of a specific unit and the possibility of running the course on that type of rebreather must be confirmed individually in advance.
