BSAC CCR Diver (40m)
BSAC’s CCR Diver (40m) training is your first step into the silent world of rebreather diving. It’s a great way to learn the basics about closed-circuit rebreathers.
I had been considering moving to rebreather diving for some time, and after completing this course I wish I had done it sooner! It’s a solid introduction to CCR and has opened up a whole new route of bubble-free, reduced deco diving that I will continue to explore.

The CCR Diver (40m) course teaches a qualified open-circuit diver to dive either an AP Diving rebreather – Evolution, Evolution+ or Inspiration – or a Poseidon Se7en. You will get a thorough grounding in rebreather technology, alongside unit-specific training, and learn how to adapt your existing diving skills to a new world where you benefit from always breathing an optimum gas mix.
To enrol on the CCR Diver (40m) course you must have successfully completed a BSAC Sports Diver course with 35-metre depth certification, and have at least 50 logged dives. You also need to be an Accelerated Decompression Diver or Advanced Nitrox Diver (or have equivalent certification from another recognised training agency).
