The principle of the rebreather goes back a long time, even from before the invention of the regulators that we use today for diving. The advantage of the rebreather in comparison with the regulator is that it recycles the used air. The air that you exhale does not escape (like with a regular regulator), but is directed through a scrubber which removes the carbon dioxide from the exhaled air. The rebreather then “restores” the normal oxygen percentage by adding some nitrox into the air, before you breathe it in again.
When you dive with a rebreather you will hardly produce any bubbles and this is ideal when making underwater video or photography.
You will be diving with a Dolphin semi closed rebreather manufactured by Drager and learn al the in's and out's of it.
During the course you will make a total of four dives with the rebreather, learn how to plan the dives, maintenance of the rebreather, security inspections and special procedures.
