Semi Closed Rebreather Speciality
Drager Atlantis/Dolphin Semi Closed Rebreather
This is Technically a PADI course, but we like our technical instructors to teach the course. With their experience working in the recompression chamber they can teach you the benefits of breathing enriched air at depth and what problems that might accur when too much co2 is in your breathing loop.
This is an ancient science that still to this day is far superior to any open circuit systems around! With no bubbles and sound created by "Darth Vader" open circuit regulators, this is a must for anyone who wants to be at one with the marine life, especially if you want to photograph the underwater world.
This course is a must during high season, where you can dive the Similan Islands during your course and have the option to fun dive with the unit after you are certified.
You need to be a Nitrox diver before you can start this course. We also provide Nitrox courses.
This has many unique advantages:
- No noisy valve, no bubble noise
- Previously shy marine animals will allow a much closer look
- Your breathing gas is continuously warm and moist
- Reduced usage of breathing gases since 90% of the gases are recycled
- Plus all the advantages of diving with Nitrox.
As one of the most fun and informative courses on offer you will learn how to fully set up and breakdown the unit along with a 1/2 day theory session on understanding rebreather diving along with three training dives.

Compared with most "dive centers" in Thailand (a lot of them is just a website - a "Virtual Dive Company") - Scuba Cat owns their own fleet of diving boats and have been in operation since 1994. If you do a Course or a Dive Career Package with us, all your dives will be from one of our own dive boats, not "we got to do a beach dive, 'cause it is not enough students" or from a "last minute rented long tail boat, 'cause all the other boats are full".
