REBREATHER TRAINING

REBREATHER TRAINING

Pushing Past Open Circuit Limits
If you're an experienced technical or cave diver ready to go beyond the boundaries of open circuit diving, Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR) training is your next step.

Curious about rebreathers? Or have experience on another CCR? This one-day introductory experience is designed for divers with who want to try the KISS Sidewinder. For divers with no prior CCR experience you'll start with a theory presentation about rebreathers in general, and the specifics of the Sidewinder. We will set up the unit on your sidemount harness, and then go for a guided shallow dive session. It's the perfect opportunity to get a feel for rebreather diving, without committing to a full MOD 1 course.

    • Be over 18 years of age.

    • Have sidemount training and experience.

    • Certified to dive Nitrox.

Designed for both experienced technical divers and divers who want to begin their technical diving on CCR, this 7-day course covers essential skills, from unit assembly to dive planning and execution—preparing you to conduct rebreather dives in an open water environment.

You’ll learn the fundamentals of CCR diving, gas management, and emergency procedures on the Kiss Sidewinder.

There are two options for certification: a 30 meter no-decompression certification, or a 40 meter decompression option for certified decompression divers. A no deco certification can be upgraded later with experience.

    • Be over 18 years of age.

    • Have sidemount training and experience.

    • Certified to dive Nitrox.

This training will help you make a smooth, confident shift from your previous rebreather to the Sidewinder. No matter which rebreather you dive, the set up and break down will be slightly different, as will the ways in which you can flush with diluent or oxygen. You will learn all about how to use the Sidewinder, and build solid fundamentals that are essential for safe and effective CCR diving. This 5-day course focuses on preparing divers to succeed on their new units, while emphasising safety, situational awareness, and refined technique.

    • Hold a certification on a rebreather.

    • Be over 18 years of age.

    • Have sidemount training and experience.

    • Certified to dive Nitrox.
