PADI Recreational Rebreather courses

Recreational Rebreather

Valters Preimanis, an instructor of the scuba diving club "Diving", PADI MSDT diving coach, says about the use of reeds for diving:  The reefer is intended only for certified divers who have been trained in the use of respiratory systems or for those divers who are under the direct supervision of a qualified instructor. Even if you have experience in using underwater equipment, we recommend that you take the time to acquire knowledge in the courses of a particular rejuvenator model. 

PADI is launching a rebel course for recreational divers. Ask your instructors for more information.
