Diving with a semiclosed
rebreather is fantastic. Your buoyancy doesn't change by breathing.
Also you create almost no bubbles, so fish are more curious and come
to see you.
This course is designed to introduce you to the Dräger Dolphin or Dräger
Ray semiclosed rebreather and to develop your knowledge, skills and
techniques necessary to use these types of rebreathers.
The course reviews the planning, organisation, procedures, potential
problems and hazards associated with semiclosed rebreather diving. It
specifically focuses on the features, accessories, maintenance and proper
use of the Dolphin or Ray semiclosed rebreather.
