TDI Helitrox CCR Diver
On rEvo rebreather
MOD1 course with some extra
CEase your breathing
So you would like to take the leap and get on a rebreather but which course should you take? Air diluent or Helitrox.
If you are not a helitrox or trimix diver yet on open circuit, to be honest, I recommend the air diluent. It is enough new information to learn and skills to achieve on that course already.
BTW I added a detailed article about how I decided to choose rEvo rebreather. Have a peek here.
Why would you take Helitrox for only an additional 5 m depth limit? Well, the maximum recommended density on rebreather is actually 30m EAD. High density can cause CO2 retention which is really not fun on CCR. Also, since diving is a bit more complex and needed a higher level of awareness, a lower narcotic level is desirable while rebreather diving. With helitrox, you can add come helium to the mix while keeping 21% O2 to achieve this.
Skills and requirements are the same:
Besides the general rebreather theory, you will learn all unit-specific information necessary to safely operate your rEvo unit.
You will be able to do basic maintenance, sensor changes and diagnose any possible errors, so you will not need to cancel a dive!
The rEvo has many backup systems built in, therefore the chance of missing a great dive is minimal as I might have already mentioned.
Prerequisites:
- TDI Advanced Nitrox and Helitrox diver (or equivalent)
- Minimum 50 dives
- 18 years old
How long does it take?
The course is a minimum of 6 days (minimum 8 dives plus theory sessions). Extra days will be arranged if necessary.
It is a very intense course, therefore a level of pre-study is necessary and expected. After all, it will leave you with more in-water time during the course!
Course price:
1450EUR (vat incl) plus learning materials and certification (110EUR)
It is possible to rent a unit for the duration of the course, however, you will need your own eventually anyway, mostly also due that places in the world where you can rent rebreather are very rare. Therefore, we highly suggest purchasing your unit before the course, and we will guide you all the way from choosing your personal configuration, delivery, unboxing and set up, making the unit yours. Rent is 100EUR/day including O2 and bailout gasses. Sorb is 9EUR/Kg
There are several package options from rEvo rebreathers, all of which can be found in our shop. Delivery time is about 6 weeks so plan ahead!
