PADI Closed Circuit Rebreather courses in 2012 - 2013
Utila Dive Centre are excited and pleased to offer new rebreather scuba diving programs in 2012 and 2013. The PADI recreational closed circuit rebreather course is now available and utilises the most user friendly and convienient unit on the market, the fully automated Posedion MK6.
The benefits of diving a closed circuit rebreather over traditional open circuit scuba include;
- Longer dive times with extended gas consumption, and longer no decompression limits
- Less noise, no bubbles and the ability to become a part of the aquatic realm, not just an observer, fish and other creatures will come close to check you out!
- More enhanced photos and videos of aquatic life as you can now get much closer to your subjects
- Stay warmer longer as less body heat is exhaled
PADI Course Director and Rebreather Instructor Trainer Andy Phillips recently spent time at PADI Headquarters in California in order to qualify as an Instructor Trainer on the Poseidon MK6 unit, and as of January 2012 we will be offering both diver and Instructor training on the unit at Utila Dive Centre in the Bay Islands of Honduras. For divers this is the perfect opportunity to enhance and enrich your dive experiences by using the most advanced dive equipment since Cousteau invented the Aqualung regulator!
