Long before Jacques Cousteau developed modern compressed air scuba gear that made recreational diving possible, people were diving with rebreathers. At the Cortez Club we offer training and rental of the Drager Dolphin/Atlantis Semi-Closed Rebreather.
The main feature of a rebreather is the reduced bubbles and silence it offers. The benefit of the of silence is that it allows you to get closer to shy wildlife. Perfect for the pelagic fish here in The Sea of Cortez.
Becoming more and more poplar everyday, rebreather are a big hit in the recreational diving market. Try The Cortez Club’s Rebreather course, which introduces you to the Drager Semi-Closed rebreather and develops the knowledge and skills and the techniques necessary to use this system.
