For unit-specific dives, the diver must be appropriately trained and qualified to use the CCR unit they will be diving.

Divers are expected to bring a properly maintained and configured CCR system suitable for the planned dive.

This may include:

• CCR unit

• Primary and secondary handsets/computers

• Bailout cylinders

• Bailout regulators

CCR Consumables

CCR consumables are particularly important because they are directly related to the duration and profile of the dive.

Depending on the package, the following may be charged separately:

Oxygen
For maintaining the required breathing gas and managing the CCR system.

Diluent
Used to establish and maintain the appropriate loop gas and assist with depth changes.

Sofnolime / CO₂ Absorbent
Required for the CCR scrubber system and normally charged according to the planned dive and unit requirements.

Bailout Gas
Open-circuit bailout is an essential part of CCR dive planning and may require additional cylinders and gas mixtures.

Dive Planning

Before the dive, the team will review:

• CCR unit

• Maximum operating depth

• Planned bottom time

• Setpoint strategy

• Diluent

• Oxygen requirements

• Bailout requirements

• Decompression strategy

• Gas switches, if applicable

• Scrubber duration

• Current and expected sea conditions

• Entry and exit procedures

• Emergency procedures

The final dive plan may be modified according to actual conditions.

Safety

CCR diving requires specialized training, equipment, procedures, and discipline.

All guided CCR dives are conducted within the diver's certification, unit-specific training, experience, equipment limitations, and agreed dive plan.

No dive will be conducted beyond the diver's certification or operational limits.

Weather, visibility, currents, sea conditions, equipment condition, gas availability, and other factors may result in modification, postponement, or cancellation of the dive.

Important Note

A Guided CCR Dive is not a CCR training course.

It is intended for divers who are already appropriately trained and certified on their CCR unit and want professional dive-site guidance and operational support.

If you are interested in CCR training, unit-specific training, or progressing toward technical CCR diving, ask our team about available training programs.
