rebreather

[carlos martins]

HI . MY name is Carlos and I`m from Portugal , and I`m looking to buy a rebreather that I cannot find in Portugal , because there are any rebreathers at all for sale in Portugal.So can I have some help ?

The Inspiration is CE rated, so it is approved for sale in all EU countries.

See: <www.ambientpressurediving.com>

IANTD has rebreather instructors who are based in Spain, if not Portugal.

See: <www.iantd.com>

Also, the Azimuth is a rebreather built in Italy. At the moment, as far as I know, it is only SCR, but they plan to have a CCR version. Either one of those will have to be CE rated.

See: www.diveshop.co.uk/pages/accessories/rebreather/azimuth.html

Hope that helps. Good luck in your search. :)

Hi Carlos,
I did a quick scan of some magazines and websites, you're right about a lack of RB training facilities in Portugal ... .

The closest I found is the NRC facility in Cala Joncols in Spain, which does Dräger SCR Training. www.euro-divers.com www.nrc-international.com

Bob Howell from the UK is setting up operation in Lanzarote. Not exactly mainland Spain, or close by, but amybe worth checking out if it's the Inspiration you're intrested in:

Other than that, there are a whole bunch of SCR/CCR instructors in Germany
Maybe try www.iart.de two of their instructors have English sounding names and might teach in English.

Good luck
