In April 2014 I decided to do some underwater film work and therefore I pick up on scuba diving but it became soon clear, that the noisy bubbles are counter effective and even highly destructive when filming sharks or other marine life. Therefore, I jumped onto the next best opportunity to learn Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR) diving. In December 2014 I got my hands on a brand new rEvo ||| mCCR model 2014 (my first choice was Mag and/or JJ) but for my underwater film purpose I decided rEvo will be sufficient.
In this clip I documented a rEvo trying session of the coast of Fort Lauderdale. Nothing really exciting but the students tried to make it through their last dive before receiving the needed certification to operate CCR. Most of these guys were experience tech divers with sufficient experience, compared to myself with only six month of scuba diving under my bell at that time.
I’m not getting into where and by whom I was trained or the quality of the CCR training (which was highly questionable in itself). This is a highly interesting story in itself but I don’t like to promote any bad experience. Just let’s say that I finished my standard training and move on to find a better training facility, which I eventually found at the Wakulla Dive Center under the watchful eyes of one of the best rebreather teacher Gregg Stanton and his awesome assistant Travis Kersting. Please contact the Wakulla Dive Center in North Florida if you’re in need of decent CCR training. Rebreather Training was filmed by Heiko Kiera aka Ojatro in Dec. 2014
