POSEIDON CLOSED CIRCUIT REBREATHER DIVER
This program has been developed for the training in the use of the Poseidon Closed Circuit Rebreather for entry level technical diving only.
In combination with the team at Poseidon, RAID has designed bespoke, specific manuals for the Poseidon. This is a relatively unique approach in the diving industry since few agencies offer manuals dedicated to specific rebreather models.
The Poseidon program contains 5 manuals which, when combined with the Core Rebreather Knowledge manuals, deliver all the academic information needed to safely dive the Poseidon rebreather.
It is ready to fly right out of the box, user friendly, robust, versatile and adaptable in numerous configurations depending on the divers' needs. It has industry low work of breathing, state of the art electronics with redundant power supply, a user-friendly design and heavy duty construction. A slim, robust and simple construction allows the diver to easily place bailout, light canister or gas for buoyancy directly on the scrubber housing.
