Rebreather Training

Join the quiet revolution in underwater exploration. Scuba Schools of America’s CCR (closed‑circuit rebreather) program teaches experienced divers to recycle breathing gas, extend bottom time, and glide bubble‑free through wrecks, caves, and deep walls.

Why Switch to a Rebreather?

Longer dives – recycled gas means hours, not minutes, at depth.
Zero bubbles – perfect for photography, research, and shy marine life.
Precise buoyancy – micro‑adjust O2 for fingertip control in tight spaces.
Gas efficiency – carry a fraction of the cylinders required for deep or deco dives.

Unsure which unit fits your goals? Book a free pool tryout and breathe on each CCR before you decide.

Training Overview

Classroom modules: physiology, loop mechanics, bailout strategies.
Confined‑water drills in our on‑site heated pool: buoyancy, manual O2 control, emergency procedures.
Open‑water sessions: staged descents, no‑bubble skills, and decompression practice—always in small ratios for maximum instructor time.

Prerequisites: solid buoyancy, nitrox competence, and a commitment to meticulous dive planning.

FAQ – Rebreather Training

How does a rebreather work?

A CCR forms a closed loop: you exhale into the unit, a scrubber removes CO2, sensors monitor O2, and the system adds fresh oxygen to keep the mix breathable—letting you dive longer without bubbles.

Can I try a CCR before committing to the course?

Yes. Schedule a rebreather tryout in our heated pool to feel the loop, test the buoyancy, and chat one‑on‑one with our CCR instructors.
