CCR Fundamentals

Explore the Silent World

GUE’s Closed-Circuit Rebreather Fundamentals course is intended to create a smooth transition from open-circuit to CCR diving. The course allows divers to develop essential skills in rebreather management, maintenance, and operational protocols. Emphasizing safety and confidence, it challenges students to master the key aspects of rebreather diving while ensuring a solid foundation for future technical CCR diving.

Course outcomes include:

a capable CCR diver with solid personal and team skills
knowledge of rebreather preparation, function, dive operation, and how to act if experiencing failures
competence in performing a bailout to open-circuit, including ascent protocol
ability to plan recreational dives, including gas management, absorbent canister endurance planning, oxygen toxicity management, and minimum decompression ascents

The class is a prerequisite to enter more advanced GUE CCR training such as the CCR Technical 1 and CCR Tech 2 courses.
