Take a Rebreather Class
You’ve probably heard how scary rebreather instructors are. They train you like you’re in the army, yelling and demading more. And, you’re getting all this heat in some dive, with peeling paint, sitting on an uncomfortable plastic chair. NOT ANYMORE!
Add Helium is the ‘Montessori School’ of diving. We believe that, if you’re spending money on a rebreather class, you should at least have a decent classroom to sit in while you learn.
We also believe in positive reinforcement. There are no drill sargeant instructors at Add Helium. No question is a stupid question. We want you to succeed!
Finally, how could we possibly ask you to spend a fortune on a rebreather when you don’t even know if it’s something you like? We rent rebreathers to your for training so that you can see if rebreather diving is up your alley.
What an Add Helium Rebreather Class Does for You
Your first certification into rebreather diving is unit specific, and depending on your pre-requisites, this course will qualify you to depths up to 40 meters.
The best advice we can offer is for you to show up ready to learn. Try to forget you know anything about diving. This class is designed to bring you through the process and most people find it to be informative, easy, and straightforward.
