CCR CAVE DIVER upgrade
The purpose of the upgrade is to train open circuit cave divers to the techniques of Closed Circuit Rebreather for cave diving.
Prerequisites : NSS/CDS cave diver or equivalent. Must be a minimum of 18 years of age. Closed Circuit Rebreather diver with a minimun of 25 dives with 35 hours of dive time on the Rebreather.
Rebreather cave diving upgrade course description
Classroom and lectures where your Instructor will discuss the following topics:
Environment conservation and limit of training, CCR accident analysis, CCR Cave dive planning including gas management with dissimilar volume matching, and Bail-out procedures, decompression policies and best mixes for the dive, psychological considerations, communication, equipment, traverses, circuits techniques , problem solving, emergency procedures, understanding cave maps.
Land drills where your instructor will review practical application for CCR cave diving such as: use of a safety reel and traverses, circuits techniques.
Open water dive your Instructor will demonstrate new rebreather cave diving techniques and procedures to help you during the journey
Cave dives: four rebreather cave dives where you will be practicing cave diving techniques, and emergency procedures guided, supervised and coach by your cave instructor.

Classroom and lecture where your Instructor will discuss the following topics:
Policy for cavern diving, cave environment, accident analysis, psychological considerations, equipment, body control, techniques, emergency procedures. Environment conservation and limit of training, CCR cave accident analysis, CCR Cave dive planning including gas management with dissimilar volume matching and Bail-out procedures, decompression policies and best mixes for the dive, psychological considerations, communication, equipment, traverses, circuits techniques , problem solving, emergency procedures, understanding cave maps.
Land drills where your instructor will guide you on practical application for CCR cave diving such as: guideline use, guideline following, emergency procedures, use of a safety reel and traverses, circuits techniques.
Open water dive your Instructor will demonstrate new techniques and procedures to help you during the journey
Cave dives: 12 cave dives where you will be practicing cave diving techniques, and emergency procedures guided, supervised and coach by your cave instructor.
EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS (Closed Circuit Rebreather)
1. IANTD CCR Cave Diver student Kit. IANTD CCR Diver “S” Drill chart C-3401 in addition to “Student Kit”. NSS/CDS workbook, NSS/CDS cavern manual.
2. CCR Must own a CCR.
3. a CCR Tool box and Back up batteries, o2 censors, HP hose, LP hose, o rings for the unit, for the regulators, for hoses,
4. CCR must be equipped with adequate bailout, including out-of-air emergency drills.
5. Two or more Bailout cylinders 40cu/6l with proper stickers labeling. Tanks must be labeled with IANTD stickers or other identification the labels must clearly identify the MOD and oxygen content of the mixture. It is recommended that IANTD labels be used to meet this requirement, in addition to those required by law.
6. Springs on fins are recommended.
7. Two (2) Primary regulators must provide ample gas flow (bail out).
8. Each gas source must have its own dedicated submersible pressure gauge.
9. A primary BCD is required. Back flotation is recommended. A backup BCD is required if the student cannot maintain buoyancy in the event of a bladder failure. If a dry suit is used, it may serve as the backup BCD.
10. Dive tables, depth gauge and dive timer or a dive computer.
11. Three reels: one Primary (cave) guide reel and one (cavern or gap) one safety reel.
12. One Primary light and two secondary lights (flashlight type).
13. Three (3) line arrows and cookies.
14. Cutting and backup cutting tool is recommended.
