Then it’s into the water with an instructor by your side, guiding you through the basics of breathing on loop, buoyancy control, and what makes the Shark different.Expect a relaxed, informative session — designed to give you a real feel for the unit and answer any questions along the way. No pressure, just pure rebreather experience.

The focus is on practical understanding, efficient skill transfer, and getting you comfortable on the unit — without retraining what you already know.Whether you're switching units or adding the Shark to your toolbox, the crossover is straightforward, efficient, and built around your existing experience.
