Rebreather Diver
Enter the world of closed-circuit rebreather (CCR) diving with foundational training in equipment operation, gas loop management, and safety awareness. This recreational CCR course teaches hypercapnia and hypoxia recognition, bailout procedures, and CCR-specific buoyancy control. You'll gain confidence exploring the advantages of CCR systems, which offer extended no-stop time and reduced gas consumption compared to open circuit diving. This certification opens the door to deeper technical rebreather training pathways like Tec 40 CCR.
Centres that teach this course
1 dive centre in the directory publish a price for this exact certification, checked Sep 2026. Each centre's own wording is shown beneath its name. Ranges cover whole-course prices only — where a centre charges per day or per dive, its rate is listed separately below, since a daily figure is not comparable with a course total.

These prices are not like-for-like. Two centres can charge very differently for the same certification because they include different things. One price may cover twinsets, stages, deco gas and cylinder rental for every training dive, a dedicated classroom for the theory, boat or transport to the site, and the agency's registration and materials; another may be tuition only, with all of that charged separately — or the other way round, with a centre bundling in extras the first leaves out. Class size, whether the course is one-to-one, and how many days are allowed for it move the figure too. Check what each centre's price includes before comparing them, and confirm with the centre before booking.
Consumables are usually extra. Sorb, helium, O₂ and other fills, park and cenote fees, certification fees and rental are commonly charged on top.
Packages combining several certifications, upgrades from an existing one, and open-ended day rates are excluded — none of them is the standalone price of this course, and including them would move the figures away from what a new student can actually book.
