Using the latest technology in CCR’s can maximize your gas supply and provide an optimum breathing gas for any depth by maintaining a constant partial pressure of oxygen. Like having a blending station on your back, a CCR is the ultimate tool for technical divers.
During this course, your Instructor will teach you all of the necessary skills to conduct decompression CCR dives to a maximum depth of 45 metres/150 feet using air diluent.
