Semi-Closed Rebreather (Drager Dolphin)

If novelty and diving quietly appeal to you, then try the Semiclosed Rebreather course. The main feature of a semiclosed rebreather is the reduced bubbles and silence it offers, which allows you to get closer to shy wildlife. Through the Semiclosed Rebreather Specialty course you learn the special procedures for semiclosed rebreather scuba diving. This includes special dive planning, organization, procedures and potential hazards, many of which differ significantly from conventional (open circuit) scuba.
It specifically focuses on the features, accessories, maintenance and proper use of the Drager Dolphin Semi-closed Rebreather. You make at least one confined water dive and at least three open water dives to learn; advantages and disadvantages of the rebreather, assembly, disassembly, maintenance, dive planning and emergency procedures.

Prerequisites

  • PADI Advanced Open Water Diver (or qualifying certification from another organization)
       · or a PADI Open Water Diver (or qualifying certification from another organization) with proof of at least 10 logged dives beyond open water training dives
