New CCR course for divers

he first Sentinel Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR) diver course was conducted at Divetech in Grand Cayman in July 2009. The course was held over a 6-day period and proved to be extremely popular, not only for the two students, but also generated considerable interest in this latest offering from VR Technology.

VR Technology manufactures the Sentinel as well as the popular VR-3 dive computers and the Ouroboros CCR.

Walker Romanica and Patrick Stacey successfully completed the course on Sunday, 2 August and are both looking forward to spending many hours diving around the reefs and walls of Grand Cayman. Diving CCR has many advantages including more dive time, no bubbles and warm, moist breathing gas to name a few of the most popular features.

Divetech, the home for technical diving in the Caribbean, has its own Sentinel unit available for courses or rental, and can now offer full training from Mod 1 all the way through to Mod 3 (full Trimix). Divetech has been training CCR and SCR divers for the past 10 years, with the Sentinel being the latest offering to residents and visitors to Grand Cayman.
