Rebreather 101 Seminar / Pool Demo
This is a full day seminar on rebreathers with classroom presentations via PowerPoint, video, and slideshow of various trips. The seminar will also consist of Q & A time followed by the building of several rebreather models and then diving them in our pool.
The purpose of the event is to educate divers on the basics of rebreather functions, to more advance topics of how the industry is progressing with rebreathers, how to travel with rebreathers, and to dispel as many myths as possible about these black boxes. Divers participating in the event will be from beginner to dive store owners, managers, and instructors.
The rebreathers that will be available are: rEvo Min III’s, Titan, Megalodon eCCR, Meg COPIS, JJ, Prism 2, KISS Spirit, and KISS SideKick. Space will be limited to provide the best interaction with rebreathers in the pool.
There are many restaurants and hotels close by.
Event cost: $85
