Become a CCR Technical Extended Range Diver with SSI

This program provides the training you need to independently plan and conduct trimix diluent decompression dives to a maximum depth of 60 meters using a closed-circuit rebreather and a minimum of two bailout cylinders. It builds upon your basic rebreather skills and helps you to develop a problem-solving attitude and approach that facilitates longer decompression dives. This challenging SSI certification program develops your ability to think about and respond to emergencies as a well-rounded, competent rebreather diver.
