This is a unit-specific Decompression Rebreather Diver course for RAID Deco 40 Divers or RAID Sport Rebreather Divers to enrol on to.

Rebreather Deco Diving in Malta

Rebreathers are advanced diving devices that recycle exhaled air by removing carbon dioxide and adding back oxygen and other gases to maintain an optimal breathing mix. This allows divers to stay underwater for longer periods of time, conserve gas, and reduce their decompression obligations compared to traditional open-circuit scuba diving.


The depth limits for the RAID Decompression Rebreather Diver program are set at 40 meters when using air diluent, which is the gas mixture that is breathed in and out by the diver, and 45 meters when using Trimix diluent. Trimix is a blend of three gases (helium, nitrogen, and oxygen) that is used for deeper dives to reduce the risk of nitrogen narcosis, a condition that can impair judgment and lead to serious accidents.

Why choose Gozo for your RAID Deco Rebreather Diver?

Gozo has a range of dive sites with diverse topography, including walls, caverns, and wrecks, which provide a variety of depth ranges and environments for deco diving. The RAID Decompression Rebreather Diver program includes a deco obligation of ten minutes for dives associated with this level. Proper decompression procedures are critical for safe diving at greater depths. The water conditions in Gozo are generally favorable for deco diving, with good visibility, calm seas, and mild water temperatures. These conditions help to reduce the stress on divers during their decompression stops and allow them to concentrate on the procedures.

Before working with Toby, I'd never dived. Now I confidently dive 40m wreck on nitrox. I owe that entirely to his teaching, encouragement and (in no small measure) his patience. Both in and out of the water, his instruction and professionalism dispelled any anxieties I had and ensured I felt safe throughout.
