Technical diving is an exciting but also difficult form of diving that allows you to explore the secrets of the underwater world at greater depths. This involves diving in caves, wrecks and other difficult environments using specialized equipment and gas mixtures such as trimix and heliox.
This course is a first step into the world of closed-circuit breathing apparatus (CCR), using one of the world's most reliable and popular apparatuses - the JJ-CCR. The course is designed for experienced divers who want to extend their underwater time, reduce gas consumption and enjoy complete silence under […]
Developed by JFD Global (a subsidiary of James Fisher and Sons), the Stealth Multi-Role is designed to solve a key problem for today’s military divers: the need to use different systems for different missions. It combines deep-sea mine countermeasures (MCM/EOD) and shallower, but sustained, special operations (SOF) functionality […]
Dräger LAR V and LAR VII, tactical precision The Dräger LAR series is designed for special task units (combat swimmers). Their main characteristics are compactness, low magnetic signature and reliability in extreme conditions. Dräger LAR V It is a pure oxygen closed-circuit apparatus […]
The wait is over. The diving world, especially technical divers and cave explorers, has long been looking forward to the successor to the legendary KISS Sidewinder. At the Boot Düsseldorf 2026 exhibition, the long-awaited novelty was announced – the KISS Xdeep Sidewinder 2 has officially received CE certification. This is not […]
Learning buoyancy with a closed-circuit rebreather (CCR) is a significant and necessary paradigm shift for divers transitioning from open-circuit (OC) systems. The key difference is that the CCR breathing circuit is of fixed volume, which makes the traditional OC technique of using lung volume […]
The JJ-CCR (Closed-Circuit Rebreather) is an advanced technical diving tool that, by maintaining an optimal partial pressure of oxygen PO2, significantly extends dive time and improves decompression efficiency. However, these benefits require understanding and tight control over the silent but potentially lethal enemy – oxygen toxicity. […]
Introduction to Closed-Circuit Rebreather (CCR) Technology Closed-Circuit Rebreathers (CCR) have revolutionized technical diving, offering significant advantages over traditional Open Circuit Scuba. The main principle of CCR is the recirculation of exhaled gas. Unlike open-circuit systems, where exhaled gas […]
The Baltic Sea region and the inland waters of the Baltic States offer unique opportunities for technical diving, which attracts experienced divers. Technical diving is defined as diving beyond the limitations of normal recreational diving (non-stop recreational diving), which involves greater depths, longer dive times, and specialized gas […]
This article was written with Valters Preimani, MSDT (Master Scuba Diver Trainer). Today I want to address a topic that often raises questions for both my students and experienced divers: nitrox in a rebreather/closed-cycle rebreather (CCR) – how does it compare to open-cycle scuba. It […]
Hello fellow divers and diving enthusiasts! Let's breathe underwater without bubbles! The JJ-CCR rebreather in action, an insight from the perspective of a technical diving instructor. I am a technical diving instructor, and today we will delve into the ins and outs of the JJ-CCR rebreather, looking at some important aspects that you should definitely consider when planning […]
